:* Meh, this article looks like a bigger mess the more I'm looking into it. :( So far, the only reasonable thing appropriate for [[Linux desktop environments]] would be some kind of a "road signs cluster" article, providing a big picture overview — with links to KDE, GNOME etc. articles. It's already there within the article, but it requires some serious trimming.

::*Yeah, I went through the same thought process. Linux is fairly standardized (POSIX, X11, Mesa 3D, OpenGL, etc), so there isn't all that much unique to Linux that we need to cover. It's not like Apple or Microsoft, where there's all sorts of proprietary technologies that need their own articles. We've already got [[History of Linux]], [[Criticism of desktop Linux]], and [[Desktop environment]]. We could probably fit everything else under [[Linux]]. I thought about volunteering to rewrite this article, but the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like a pointless effort. One main article to tie up all these concepts might work, but it would probably have to be less specific than this.
