It's proof that Ubuntu is a terrible platform for customization.
Most other distros don't have that split - whether it is ArchLinux, Fedora, CentOS, NixOS, and what have you.
- padraic7a 8y agoWell Fedora and CentOS are both more or less RedHat splits surely.
- jsight 8y agoNot exactly. Fedora is more like a non-LTS version of RHEL, if we oversimplify it a bit. CentOS is more like a split, but their goal is to be functionally identical to RHEL.
- freeone3000 8y agoCentOS isn't even a split. CentOS is RHEL with different distribution without the trademarks - it's binary-compatible and documentation-compatible, and matches versions patch-for-patch. Fedora is more like a split - it's the people who like RHEL but want a faster release cycle.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoThat might be because a lot fewer people actually use them as a Desktop.
- tssva 8y agoFedora has spins which are distributions of Fedora with differing desktop environments. The Fedora Spins website currently lists spins for 7 alternative desktop environments.
