Hi Knightwise,

While I enjoy your podcast, I must say your attitude seems to be a little selfish. You've been around the community long enough to know that the development relies on people taking the time to report bugs. Yet you say "I never report bugs ... the technology just needs to work for you. ... Cannot afford to spend hours and hours tinkering...". How do you expect the bug Mate may/may not have with BlueTooth on Lenovo  to be magically fixed if they don't know it's broken ?

Given you use "Linux as a daily driver", you have your own business, you pay for OneDrive, and you can happily pay &euro;50 for closed software, I wonder do you also subscribe to Ubuntu ?

As for not worrying about the desktop, as all apps are in the cloud let me point you to:

I'm also around long enough to know that the more the merrier. Back in the day the "too many ${software}" argument was been leveled at XFCE and then the Raspberry Pi arrived and needed a Desktop. Now it's one of the most used environments out there.
