>Support for "real" desktops on NetBSD is somewhat limited and also scattershot. Part of the reason for this is that most of the desktops are not especially well engineered, and they contain poorly designed infrastructure components that interact incestuously with system components that are specific to and/or make sense only on Linux.

If BSD people are such smart, good engineers, why haven't they made a good desktop stack? All they have is Linux hand-me-downs and horrid Unix fossilware like CDE. In 7 years, Andreas Kling did with Serenity OS, what they haven't managed to in over 30.

>The purpose of this project, per se, is not to implement any particular piece of infrastructure. It is to identify pieces of infrastructure that the desktop software stacks need from the operating system, or provide themselves but ought to get from the operating system, figure out solid designs that are compatible with Unix and traditional Unix values, and generate project descriptions for them in order to get them written and deployed.
