I thought I remembered a bigger announcement, but even just this is a start.

in reply to kapustin • • •Mint has developed some of its own software, as has MATE. I don't think it's motivated by anything to do with
systemd.E.g., I use Pluma, developed by MATE. I uninstalled Xed, developed by Mint. Until I got rid of it in favor of Pluma, Xed was the default text editor. Mint developed a couple of other X-something applications which I also replaced with their MATE equivalents.
I use the MATE version of Linux Mint.
Some people think it's a terrible idea to run software designed to run on one DE on a different DE. I do it all the time. I always have. E.g., I use Kate for developing software.
Gnome is my least favorite DE. I only use it with Tails because there is no other choice. I use MATE as my "daily driver," but I also like XFCE and Cinnamon. I'm happy with Mint's decision to support the 3 DEs it does.

But of course. X11 was designed to be open to each and all, with a well documented API.

I believe that applications should compile-in all necessary dependencies.

Desktops and libraries are always a moving target. Why not try to minimize that?
