I think there are examples of projects getting criticized for not recreating the corposhit. Take GIMP — sure some folks really like it, but there are huge swaths of people who basically just say, “why doesn’t it work like Photoshop?!” and get very frustrated with its different approach.
Personally, I like Google Photos — the interface, not the product — so when Immich came along and basically cloned it, I was really happy (I think Immich is fantastic, and at this point calling it a Photos clone is kinda offensive tbh — it’s way cool).
Some corposhit just sucks, yeah, but some is actually well thought out — no shame in taking the concept and running with it, IMHO.
I like GIMP and have never used Photoshop.
Tiling window managers fit this for me.
The first version of Windows used tiling.
Not really. The tiling in windows didn’t work in the same automatic “turn it on and watch it go” way that it does on Linux. But don’t let that get in the way of your bizarre Linux trolling as I know you’ve been waiting all day for your moment to “shine”
I used Windows 2.something on an old Compaq 386 (16MHz) and it didn’t automatically title anything. There was an option to tile (or cascade) the current window set, but a new window would not cause a retiling. Neither would a window closing.
Windows 1; not 2
-Because of a lawsuit from Apple.
Fwiw, I’ve seen some people demonstrate a robust and efficient keyboard based workflow using floating window management. Sometimes it’s a simple matter of what you set out to learn.
Yeah, I prefer tiled windows (XMonad) but I use my mouse for a lot of things, it’s not because I need a keyboard based workflow.
so we can keep being stuck with corposhit products with no alternatives?
Yeah, there’s room for both, but I think replacing proprietary software is actually a bit higher priority than just being different.
I suppose it depends on what you are replacing, tho.
You can always start your own project. Just saying.
Clones are also great for publicity and awareness. People are searching for alternatives to (insert program here).

I believe it’s an axlotl
Open source projects create corposhit because the developers working on them work for corporations who pay them to create the corposhit. The fact that they’re open source is just so that the corporation can benefit for free from contributions by developers outside the company. That’s all.
Maybe. Got any ideas? 🤷
Sure, where’s the clear design document?
Might be my fav so far
