if mac become free or cheap and installable on pc without hackintosh i dont mind till then SL is my default desktop
Nah, too old and set in my ways to survive sudden changes. I do however want to trim my distro usage down to max. 2 - otherwise a lot of time is spent simply staying current.
OMG really? People have been predicting he would switch to Mac for some time, even saying he must be developing on an iDevice. Makes sense too, his designs with Gnome 3 have been almost offensively iOS-like. With luck, his withdrawal from the Linux community will result in some sanity returning to Gnome.
You're right, it looks like he wasn't on the Gnome 3 team. My bad. (He is on record as being quite happy with Gnome 3 though, and I think this shows us why...) Edit: to be clear, I don't have anything against liking OSX (though I have a lot personally against Apple itself). Want to use a Mac, that's your business; I happen to prefer Windows and Linux. However, I dislike when people try to drag power-user-hostile concepts from OSX into Linux.
Note: The fragmentation is in the distributions (not the Linux kernel) to cater to different uses. -- Tom
