Thanks for this insight. And you're right. And I will add, it was never
the ambition of Debian to replace the User experience with Windows or
OSX, unlike Ubuntu and many others. I've stuck with Debian for what I
cannot find in Ubuntu; stability and security. But user experience is
well below compared to other distros. It's unfortunate, then it seems,
that Linux seems destined for the geek world. This is rather
unfortunate, as I do believe with Linux the computing world could be
very different. I want to imagine a world of using a stable and secure
computer to achieve much more. Or, perhaps my frustration is influenced
by chastisement from a friend recently, a programmer, who said; life's
short, time is precious, why spend time getting things to work on Linux?
This was again, in response to a user experience, trying to share out
desktop remotely. Of course, we gave up.

Thanks, however.
