You are right in that there are no other projects as far advanced as Linux (with the exception of FreeBSD, but it has the same problems as Linux when it comes to desktop use). Sorry, but it does (performance wise and other). ![]() There needs to be a standard set of libraries that programmers adhere too that it can be reasonably certain that the average user will have on their system.ģ. For example, how many hundreds of libraries are out there that do the same thing but have slightly different ways of doing it? This is a nightmare for the average user.
