GNOME and KDE are coming together to sponsor the Linux App Summit (LAS) 2019 in Barcelona from November 12th to 15th, 2019. This isn't the first time the two rival Linux desktop groups have come together, but it has been a decade since they've joined forces to run a conference together.

It's their hope that by working together at LAS they can drive the growth of the Linux desktop "by encouraging the creation of quality applications, seeking opportunities for compensation for FOSS developers, and fostering a vibrant market for the Linux operating system."

Paul Brown, a KDE Communications Specialist, added, "The desktop wars is not really a thing any more. It makes more sense to work together and pool resources."

It certainly does. Torvalds wishes, "we were better at having a standardized desktop that goes across the distributions."
