I wonder why devs need to work on multiple different environments. I only have (user)experience with KDE and GNOME but what’s the difference between them?
- It’s not the default layout, you could ship another default version
- goals can be to maximize customizability (features) while minimizing ressources. Or the other way round. (Or simplicity)
- is it because devs like different frameworks (qt, gtk)? Or language?
Yep, that’s the idea, and then you make it available for everyone and call it a Distro, as many have done so. It unfortunately just works like that (discovered how to see replies today)
