It's been a while so I can't really direct you. When licensing became very uncertain I backed away and haven't done one in a while.

My best advice is to get a good flight controller kit up front so everything works together without a lot of screwing around. Also to read lots of build logs before you do one. And maybe start with a cheap type to build familiarity.

Also any design where you just have arms connected to a central board tends to be flimsy. I started with a SK450 and it's kind of floppy

"The C-Suite that you rail against is entirely profit motivated."

You're not wrong, you're just thinking small. That is, not like a member of that clan of jackals.

They are worried about THEIR personal profits, they don't give two fucks about any given corporation. And if you do, you're stupid, because corporations don't have hearts or souls and are literally not capable of caring about you.

As long as they come out looking competent, they will be able to get a job at the next corporation, and secure THEIR profits.

Because instead of having a hundred developers contributing to make one good desktop

Let me stop you right there.

You presuppose that we know what a good desktop is. I don't think we do. I think trying many different variations to find out is exactly how we some day will.

considering that Windows has already shown what a good desktop needs

In which parallel universe? Windows has shown what a barely passable desktop needs, one that is just about good enough to stop people from escaping from the lock-in.

But the same level of effort is now required to make a good desktop

We agree.

But it is not a problem the Linux crowd can solve. Because it's not a technical question.

The desktop background is the modern customized splash screen.

Window decorations and effects matter to me, for both functional and aesthetic reasons. To me, KDE is a sort of modernized cross between Windows 7 and NeXTStep in that department. And it gets right things that Windows has gotten worse about in 11, like being able to read the fucking clock. I seriously don't know who came up with that idea, but on the same display, I can read the taskbar clock on KDE without glasses and not on Windows unless I scale everything and throw away the benefit of the high-resolution display. And that's on the automatic display mode, but you actually also get settings.
