Everyone:
/The Register/ carried this article:
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/11/02/rhel_deprecates_kde/
saying that Red Hat now /deprecates/ KDE in its Red Hat Enterprise Linux
distribution.
The article mentions the recent release of Fedora 29, but says not a
word about whether /Fedora/ will deprecate KDE as well.
I switched to KDE for a reason. GNOME simply /did not show me/ how to
switch users, or do any of the things that, on MS Windows, are
practically intuitive. And I understand the reason for it. GNOME mimics
MacOS, while KDE mimics Windows.
I believe that GNOME has come to dominate for one reason only: those who
develop distributions, like GNOME and dislike KDE. There's just
something about KDE that, while it is /user/-friendly, is not
/developer/-friendly--at least, not to the developers of operating
systems. (Developers of /applications/ might have a different story to
tell.)
I suggest to this community that we have arrived at a crisis. In six
years, according to /The Register/, Red Hat Enterprise Linux /will not
support/ a KDE installation or maintenance.
What are the maintainers of KDE going to do about this?
Will Fedora's maintainers do the same thing that RHEL maintainers have
announced their intention to do?
