[QUOTE="Nightwalker, post: 941844, member: 23015"] The biggest reason for not having new operating systems in development is that most would be vastly inferior to the solutions we already have on the market. To avoid this scenario (mediocrity), it would be necessary to invest an absurd amount of money and time that could be better spent on other projects (see Firefox OS / Ubuntu Touch). Ironically, the biggest contributions to the development of Linux and free open software in general are not from "idealistic" developers but from the big "bad" capitalist companies. Research and development depends on financial resources and not on ideology and ego (one of the reasons for having countless mediocre Linux distros).
