Unity would be the first example, and although Unity was actually a good DE,
it was too bloated and almost non-modifiable.
People jumped ship to Linux Mint that had its priorities straight.
Mir and Snap were bigger issues though
as Wayland and Flatpak were great replacements for
X11 and AppImage and did not need another competitor.
But the privacy issues were the straw that broke the camel’s back.
People left windows for linux so they wouldn’t have to deal with this
kind of nonsense.
I actually jumped when Ubuntu jumped to Gnome 3.
Gnome 3 was too bloated for me and it looked ugly.
I decided to see what Arch Linux was about
and eventually settled for Manjaro Linux.
Arch + Xfce for the win.
What decisions for example?
Amazon, Mir, Unity, Snap etc.
