Yes, the kernel is fine. But I need/want a GUI, not a DE, just a GUI --
and that's the problem because freedesktop.org is the only game in town
and whatever they do everyone must do. Coupled with the fact that graphics
processors are all tightly controlled by Nvidia, Radeon, etc. we are
destined for an extremely monolithic Linux graphical environment in
the future.
Fork? Who's gonna take on that challenge? It seems that a handful
of developers, with their own special and exclusionary agenda, will control
the Linux GE for all time.
