Realistic? Maybe. But the reviewer's priorities are completely different from mine and those of many of my friends: ==================================================== What tends to leave a lasting impression with me is whether the desktop environment, its applications and controls feel like a cooperative, cohesive experience or like a jumble of individual tools that happen to be part of the same operating system. In my opinion Ubuntu running the Unity desktop and Linux Mint's Cinnamon desktop are good [snip] I believe Devuan falls into the other category, presenting the user with a collection of utilities and features where some assembly is still required. ==================================================== Yep, call me The Assembler. I like the program granularity enabling me to easily set up my all-black-screened Openbox+Dmenu to do the way *I* want to do them, instead of using his recommended Unity (Is this April 1?) to do it Shuttleworth's way. With his priorities, I think the reviewer would be much happier with a Mac.
