Yep, on mobile you can still kinda argue about the closed source GUI (but I still think it is wrong & actually hurting Jolla) but on desktop, there is just no excuse for a distribution with a closed source UI!

Also, I think quite a lot of people massively underestimate the amount of resources needed to run a real desktop/general purpose desktop.
