Import Substitution Diary. Linux GUI – a False Temptation

Stop asking “What's Linux's GUI?” | by Jesse Portnoy | Medium you understand that without intervention from above the situation will not change. It seems that the GUI in Linux is a bait for users, and not a means of effective work. If the GUI does not reflect the architecture of the system, it is just shortcuts with windows and nothing more. And also a set of graphical utilities, and not administration programs. I generally thought that the time of utilities for each question has already passed, but no, here they are scattered throughout the system.

Overall, it seems that in Linux no one owes anything to anyone (it's free, after all), and the developers live on donations from interested corporations and don't really care about the success of the product.

Perhaps because the Java community makes the tool for itself and therefore strives for more effective standards.

Especially since money has started to be allocated for IT, and there is simply no other way out for serious work. Until new import substitutions on our channel t.me/Chat1CUnlimited . The summer will be hot.
