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.
