Because putting together a special snowflake distro is damn easy compared to actually programming shit.

>>56435139
Install void you fucking pleb cocksucker or enjoy your systemdicks

>>56435115
because they get their distros bought like Alpine Linux being sold to Docker and the lead maintainer is now a F/T employee there.

CoreOS has also stolen most of the Arch developers because they use the same package manager

>>56435115
What do you suggest they develop, animecunt? The hardest part is the idea.

>>56435337
no it is not.
If you can't implement your ideas, you might as well not have them.

Photoshop
Music software
Accounting/spreadsheet software
Video editing
Games

You're still at the stage where you think development is hard and you think you're worthy of criticizing software professionals?

I tried multiple times to write graphical user interfaces for command line tools. By the time I was familiar enough with the command line tool / the API I no more had a need for a graphical interface so the projects died. Open source software is often written because the devs want to use it themselves, but GNU/Linux users often prefer the efficiency of the command line so that is what gets made.

>>56435365
software professionals cannot implement things themselves?
I don't mean have time to implement it, I mean know how it can be implemented.
I have seen a lot of shit designs go back to people who had no idea how things could get implemented.
The "idea guy" is about as worthless as a motivational poster on the wall.

/v/ has to go.

No motivation. How can people working for free compare to people working for money?

Games aren't really my thing, but the anon asked for ideas on making useful software

Most Linux developers are paid.

Games aren't very useful.

>>56435337
How about some working drivers to start with?

>FOSS alternatives
>none of them come remotely close to the original
It's because of people like you no one can take linux users seriously.
You keep spouting this crap instead of just admitting that there is in fact no software with that kind of quality.

>>56435574
You didn't even name an """original""" for accounting software.

Feel free to remain a slave to proprietary software companies. It's your choice :)

>>56435574

Krita is (surprisingly) really good. I think it has a serious team behind it.

I actually use the Win port more than SAI lately.

>>56435631
Tryton, the accounting software, is also quite capable. I doubt

Hello pissphone v2.0

Krita really seems open sores done right, with crowdfunding and all.

I don't really use it, though, but it looks nice

Cause they will use the pointless new distro and they dont need a fancy gui for the tools they develop for themselves.

There is usualy no incentive in FOSS to do software that is useless for the developer. Most devs use cli wich means no gui development.

Money (through crowdfunding) could be an incentive.
