The response to my “Linux Sucks (and what can be done to fix it)” session from Linux Fest Northwest has been… unexpected.
I’ve been doing my best to stay on top of the emails on the topic, so my apologies if I haven’t replied to you. I promise that I am reading them all.
Just in case you are interested in seeing what all sorts of people (from a lot of different communities) thoughts are on all of this: here’s a quick list of a few of the various blogs, forums and social websites that I’ve seen on the topic this week.

And, of course, let’s not forget some of the solid threads over in the Jupiter Broadcasting forum.

I also wrote an article based on your speech at Linux Fest Northwest, although I focused more on the part about how developers like to eat.

My dream scenario is if someone took it upon themselver to create a distribution where they standardized on, say, KDE, and got rid of all gtk apps, got rid of all the 100 options for every single part of the desktop and it’s applications. The Apple concept. It works, sadly.

Does it really matter what other people say about your presentation? Because you don’t really provide an answer it seems. You have made yet another PDF reader for linux, Jupiter Linux, yet another Linux distro seems dead. So how does this advance the state of Linux?
