Having multiple distributions makes it more difficult to know when something was fixed. Distro A is nice and all, but crashes when you do X. Distro B does X flawlessly, but has other issues. There are also distros C, D, E, F and G, each with its own good and not-so-good parts. Who knows about all of those? who keeps track? This is not so simple for a non-tech-savvy user. I like Linux, have used Slackware for some time, now I just install Ubuntu and roll with it. I've also installed Ubuntu on a 10 year old laptop for my mom - as long as she can use the internet with Chromium/Firefox, she's happy. I guess Linux works mostly when you are tech-oriented/have some techie friends to guide you.
