I was also really sad when I read interview with Con Kolivas[2] and the reasons why he quit kernel development[3]. I hope kernel developers will wake up and realise that there are also us - Desktop users and what we need and want are responsive desktops. Will Fedora be the first Linux distro to have sane desktop defaults (vm.swappiness=1 and vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50). Current Fedora slogan is "Features. Freedom. Friends. First", I hope to see "Desktop performance" as part of it soon ;) [1] http://rudd-o.com/en/linux-and-free-software/tales-from-responsivenessland-why-linux-feels-slow-and-how-to-fix-that [2] http://apcmag.com/interview_with_con_kolivas_part_1_computing_is_boring.htm [3] http://apcmag.com/why_i_quit_kernel_developer_con_kolivas.htm -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
