Best Linux Desktop Environments: Strong and Stable

Nothing beats Unity.

“documentation is generally awful, people hate writing it”

I have wanted to write some docs many times but the DEs and distros wikis where I tried didnt permits to write original content in other lenguage than english; one has to send his work in english and then translate to his lenguage if he wants. O_O

First of all most people on the Earth DOESN’T speak english, and the mayority if the others, do it very badly, as you can verify in most english post all over the internet, starting with this post of me. So, if I want to write in a non too vomitive english I have to consult dictionaries and grammar guides all the time, making the tedious task of writin documentation, 4 or 5 times more tedious and time consumer and irritating.

But is even worst that being GNU/Linux a free, libre, project; being an initiative that wants to democratize the tecnology; being KDE and Gnome and the mayority of the desktop environment writen by non americans nor other english speaking countries it is absurd and imperialist to obligate the people that ofers to write documentation, to do it in a foreign lenguage. Excuse me, but if I give my time for free to write something that I already know, for the benefit of others, I do it in my damn lenguage; and if you dont understand, just dont read it or f*king go to Deepl and copy-paste the text to translate it and then, if you are nice and generous enough with your time, post that translation, previous revision, in the english language section of the documentation wiki!
But no, they prefer that milliards of potential users that are of chinese, hispanics, arabics, french speakers, rusians, etc, dont have documentation in their lenguages if americans dont have it first. Well, dear DE “dictators”, f*k off!

Sorry to be so rude, but it’s the plain and simple truth. There is no good and updated documentation in big part because of the fault of that “gringophilic” dictators of the majority of the software development and documentation projects.

I have nothing against the english lenguage, I am using it right now (if one can call “english” this), but if I can write quickly, with clear, precise and correct grammar and rich vocabulary in my native lenguage whuy the hell I have to do it in other lenguage that I cant manage well nor write it correctly even spending 4 times the time I spend writing in my mother lenguage? Why I have to work to make the world a place less diverse and more culturaly colonized? No, thanks.
All my colaborations in this sense have gone to Wikipedia. Big parts of most articles in my lenguage’s Wikipedia, about Mate, Gnome, KDE Plasma, Gimp, Krita, and several other programs I use a lot and think that could be considered “power user” have writen by me, at least originally, of course in WP colaborates a lot of people that modifies what others have writen previously. Wikipedia is not a documentation site and the articles have to be rasonably short and not very profound, but is a place where nobody is going to forbid me to write in whatever lenguage I wat.

So, dear documentation systems rulers, keep on telling good will people that we have to write in english or nothing, and the response will be “nothing”, and the documentation in Linux world will keep being a sh*t forever.

Linux friends,

You spur my comments even though I generally avoid forums; due to banning. You tube and facebook, twitter etc… are dead to me. The Internet has gone down. Not going; digressed. Lost.

Some truths do not return void; so without knowing to whom I’m typing, if to any group then this will be both a waste and a hopeful difference.

In the topic of DE’s and points mentioned; I preference Mate, usually. And without the elimination of all others, BTW. Mate scales better, uses less memory and is more familiar to new adopters. Mate keeps with stability well; by in large and has robust matching components. Plus like people are trained on Windows familiar, I am on Mate. “WIndows” is so awkward to me, and annoying. I forget how much until I attempt to use windows. Mate is easy to get used to. Oh and on Mate; I like how once a setting is checked then there’s no OK to also click.

But I’m motivated by the the overstatement about ‘all is opinion’. No it’s not. Some have well commented on effects. But no one has discussed truth. Likely as it’s obvious most think truth is opinion.. Well they may say, that’s your opinion of the truth. Truth is not subject to our opinions. Reverse that.

thanks
