Even if these comments come from a group that provides the standard
desktop of the world's most renowned Linux distribution (which is in fact
for *many* people a synonym for Linux)?
Credit where credit is due: I am annoyed by reading everywhere nowadays
that Linux seems to haven't had any GUI at all before GNOME. This is
revisionism of the worst kind and the GNOME group apparently does nothing
to prevent it from happening. And these kind of articles appear in the
*big* media (NBC, BBC). Of course, *we* know better but what about the
vast majority of people out there?
