Most distros are geared to different things like Arch Linux is bare-bones...etc. You are correct that there are plenty of distros where the main difference is the default desktop environment like cinnamon or kde and that isn't super helpful and fractures the community.

- Accacin 9y ago> Arch Linux is bare-bones...etc No, it isn't. But I get the general idea.
- 0xTJ 9y agoThe commenter's point was that it comes bare-bones. There is very little installed on a stock Arch installation. Unlike a distro like Ubuntu, Mint, etc., which are some of the most common desktop distros and come with a large variety of packages, Arch's install file is shockingly small, and the base packages themselves are very limited.
- Accacin 9y agoThe default Arch install is about 700Mb. How is that shockingly small? If you do a minimal install on most distro's you'll get something similar. Probably less, as Arch bundles all it's packages together and you can't chose to, for example, not install the dev packages. I use the OS myself, so I'm not hating on Arch linux but the misinformation spread about Arch is crazy.
