GNU/Linux has always been about an OS for competent technical
people.
But its initial success has brought about an undeniable developmental pomposity.
Consider the poster child for "colord," a useless product of the
equally useless, and pompous, freedesktop.org (i.e. IBM/Redhat):
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/colord/profiles.html
This website goes back a long way but the underlying philosophy
has not changed. According to IBM/RedHat, GNU/Linux development
will not be directed toward technical excellence but rather toward accommodating digital idiots.
That web page is totally DISGUSTING. It is reminiscent of a
marketing ploy for children's breakfast cereal.
But it reveals the true direction of the now corporate-led
GNU/Linux development.
By the way, color management is an EXACT SCIENCE and is perfectly
possible on GNU/Linux without such ridiculous contrivances as "colord."
I do it all the time. Do you?
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
