Yeah that happens a lot. I myself will not force my friends or family to uproot their online persona and change platforms just because I found a better alternative.
Because, I know that I’m not the only person they’re using it for. They have their own social circles and I don’t want to burden them to have to sacrifice or add an additional app just so they can satisfy my preference.
Wut? Matrix is buzzing in tech circles. I can admit that it’s not very popular outside of tech and Foss, but these are the contexts we’re discussing here.
I'm extremely happy sharing my testimony, Dr. Excellent helped me change my husband’s heart to love and want me again. I was heart broken when my husband left me and moved to California to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. I have tried many options but he did not come back, until i met a Relationship Coach that directed me to Dr. Excellent a spell caster, who helped me to bring back my husband after 11hours. Me and my husband are living happily together again, This man is powerful, Contact Dr. Excellent for any kind of spiritual problems or any kind of spell or relationship problems he is capable of making things right for you with no side effect., Here his contact.

Nah, even if there were one holistic/catholic/apostolic/ecumenical GNU/Linux distribution, it would not follow that it’s “better than Windows” for many folks, let alone that “people would move”. Folks are very slow to adopt new technologies, very hesitant to step outside of an established market duopoly, and generally not prepared to work with computers as they are.
It’s kind of happening naturally as it picks up more users and developers. There are really only a few distros that all others are based on. And as many have already said, it’s not fragmented and actually very healthy, and that’s a good thing.
Counterpoint: Linux would be more popular if it were the default. Despite all the marketing and walled gardens, even Malus, the trillion dollar company still makes up a measly 25% of the end user market. They are nigh meaningless on the server market.
The majority of people will use whatever is put in front of them first and stick to it due to inertia and sunken cost. Many wouldn’t even know the difference until someone explicitly told them.
I’ve seen examples of this already where schools give kids laptops running a custom linux distro for education and they just roll with it. Also, the steamdeck happened, and a lot of people loved it before even realizing it’s just linux… We should definitely give more support to companies shipping machines with linux preinstalled (even if the first thing I’ll do is another install lol)
The fact it can be configured so freely is one of the best things about Linux. A generic “one size fits all” solution would just end up being like Windows or MacOS.
I get what you mean from a development perspective, but I already know your opinion is and will expectedly be unpopular within the Linux community. People here like freedom and choice, in one way or other.
A big benefit is that it keeps threat actors away from most components. If there’s a vulnerability in some Qt library, it will be big enough that people will notice eventually and fix it, but too small for someone to write ransomware code if the target is like 15000 random unimportant people.
There are certain things that people are trying to improve upon, to make things uniform/easy like the many ways to install software! Package managers to avoid having to compile from source. Flatpak/Snap/etc. to avoid having to deal with packages and dependencies! AppImages to put everything in one portable binary! However, with increasing simplicity you trade off customizability and other factors. This is why all these ways are available.
SystemD is fucking great and i will never go back to anything else, and this argument is the reason OP doesn’t understand why a unified agreement on a distro is fucking impossible.
