also if I come back as combative that's not my intended tone. I'm just like, how much failure does it take for people to realize that no one wants a traditional linux desktop any more.
Some of it is intertia. I will wholly admit that I took a while to even TRY an immutable because I have decades of traditional Linux desktop history and "it works just fine! Why change it!" - then again, I was still compiling monolithic kernels for quite a while after the Linux kernel first got module capability, so maybe I just get stuck in my ways
