A comment on Pop _OS to use it own desktop environment, written in Rust. Parent comment
Some of hem have even thrown a lot of that collective engineering hours away by deciding to rewrite entire parts!
> They work.
Arguably, but I say they sometimes don't. That alone is worth considering alternatives.
> There is no compelling reason to throw that all away.
Sure there is. This one is written in rust and the others support javashit.
> Likely a new system will be worse along every metric of concern for the foreseeable future
Ahh you must have short sightedness. It won't be hard to improve performance of a few key metrics:
* reduced crashiness * reduced memory footprint * improved UI responsiveness * cold boot to desktop time
It shouldn't be that hard to be an improvement over Gnome in memory utilization or KDE in crashiness.
