I’ve seen some reviews on Zorin- this kind of distros that are similar to the currently User Interface that most people are used to (windows 10) are not, in my opinion, “bad”- they serve a usefull porpose- give people, willing to try Linux, a more familiar ambient, do dimish the shock of the change.Ĭhange is not bad- I love some wierd UI’s- I even tested a MacOs like UI in antiX, just to see if it “clicked” to me- it did not- I’m set in my ways, I’m used to a toolbar on the bottom, a menu icon on the left, quick launch icons, system tray, and a clock. Not every one seems to be as devoted to real problem solving (suckless) and not trying to imitate what is marketed/popular so they can compete (KDE/QtWindows, Gnome, CinnabonWin9, etc.) The guy that makes a living writing Gnome sw may be doing it in a machine with his own custom script init, running i3, and simulating another system that the gui would run into. Some may only use a tiling wm with terminals and console editors, to produce guis that are popular, that they would never use themselves.

There is a degree of alienation in software coding as much as there is in working in a factory.

If you just remained faithful to the principles of open source, freedom to hack and fork, and sharing the best you make to use on your own, then there wouldn’t be a problem. If you attach an exchange value to software, such as the popularity and the money you get from donations, you would be competitive. As products that appear on the shelf compete for the buyer’s choice, even though 90% may come from the same co., software seem to be in competition with each other. Marketing and the forces of the market have influenced many developers to think in terms of “market” when they design software. If you tell people to try arch using the single monthly image they provide, I bet that less than 1000th of a percent would ever leave mac/ms to use arch and spend the next 3 years studying the wiki.

The entire office suite is trying to imitate M$office and even to add complexity to it.

The rest of the installation is unattended and will install SteamOS.The entire desktop/gui industry is directed in imitating M$winblows, but not to pass too harsh of a judgement on this approach, it is what makes people consider switching from M$ to IBMware (systemdinux).
