I started with Suse 9.0, when Suse wasn't Novell. Novell, Red Hat and
Mark Shuttleworth killed Linux, time to look out for other *NIX or to
follow them. The variety of Linux already is dead.
Take a look at the thread "Notifications changed in LXDE under wheezy"
for Xfce an issue too.
FUD? Again, people might chose applications that don't have insane
dependencies, MUAs without a GUI etc., but we don't have the freedom to
use what app we want, as it was possible in the past.
