   Gordon,   
   You know, I also getting pretty sick of people on the forums say   
   essentially "what do expect for free", or "if you don't like it, go   
   somewhere else".  I'm looking for a work-around, not a complete shift to   
   something else.  The linux community is always looking for the Year of   
   The Linux Desktop.  You can see that the devs have their agenda and it's   
   not their user base.  I don't hear/see demands for "more systemd!" or   
   "more Wayland" or "more feature drop".
