  KDE for when you want the shittiest aspects of Windows without waiting for Microsoft to finish stripping out all the good parts!

  gtk2 has the highest potental for a fork-ecosystem with a rich back categlog and best possibility for eventual maintainabiliy..

  nsITobin
  the more people profess systemd the more I just want an autoexec.sh to do my bootup
• 01:55
