alt Hacker NewsThe problem with GNOME is that it caters to a very narrow audience, yet it is the default in most Linux distributions.

My understanding[1] is that distros prefer GNOME as the default due to it's release cycle being significantly easier to package then KDE's.
[1] Going off comments from one dev behind the Aeon distro on why it uses GNOME and not KDE, despite being an OpenSUSE spin-off.

That is not a GNOME problem. That is a distro problem. Users should petition their distro maintainers for change.

Where is the problem here?
The real issue should be: Fedora/Debian/Ubuntu cater themselves to a very big audience and yet chose to set GNOME as the default
