What Killed the Linux Desktop (2012)

I think people often forget: Do what works for you. If XFCE+ is good enough for you, then great! stick with it!

But if you want to try a different experience, or if you think that setup is inefficient (as I do), then try moving to something else!

What works for one person likely won't work for another.

And this is what killed the Linux desktop. 99% of the population does NOT want to try a gazillion desktops (of which the installation is error prone), just to find out what 'works best for you'.

You don't have to if you don't want to. Any sensible desktop distro has a DE configured for you out of the box, if you want to just start using it.
