It's FOSSTrue story? 😆
Khardian@itsfoss And they say Linux is "impossibly hard to dev to", because we have "unmanageable fragmentation, killing compatibility" and the occasional "how am I to build for so many targets?"
Pablo MartÃnez@Khardian @itsfoss to be fair, there's a lot of fragmentation on packaging, available software versions and some low level components (init systems, windowing management, graphical toolkits...). I think there's some true on that. There's even fragmentation on the unification proposals (snap, flatpak, AppImage).
@pablo_martan @itsfoss Aside from packaging, which really is very convoluted and forces some decisions on you, it's mostly a problem for the distros themselves. As a dev and a user, I don't have to worry about critical libs missing, ever-changing ABIs, weird system call results, drivers being unavailable or anything like what we have on windows.
Also, Wayland or X11 is not a question anymore, theming consistency is the last of worries and init systems really doesn't make a difference.
