This is a remix, not a distribution. Nothing more than Ubuntu with a pre-installed desktop environment. Remixes give users the same benefits installing yourself provide. But they do so while keeping the oobe that makes distros like Ubuntu intuitive and competitive. I do agree the Linux distro ecosystem is a scattered mess. And that negative diversity of incompatible package managers and display systems goes against the standardizations that made POSIX dominant to begin with. When I look at Elementary"OS", I see a branding built on the foundation of what could simply be Ubuntu Pantheon Remix. The idea that these hundreds of mini distros is what caused desktop Linux to fail isn't true though. These projects are nothing more than the IT equivalent of your friend's mix tape. Or your girlfriend's slightly modified Martha Stewart recipe she boasts as her own.
