- Market share is not the most important metric, resilience matters and Linux distributions have only gained in acceptance over years - People have a fear or even aversion toward experiments since it needs effort, but some folks are simply geeks - they will keep trying and more power to them - Some of these experiments, historically, have brought some of the best open innovations in the industry and moved even closed-source rooted companies to change mindset - Fragmentation is a marketing problem IMHO and I would like to see some ground between that and a consolidated Linux distro but it will not happen easily and that is OK - The enthusiasts like us do not need every other mainstream user on Linux but I am sure we would love that (I am a Linux user for 18 years) - This community is happy learning and trying new things, it is joyful So, more power to experimentors. The value of this community is in choice in a market that is dominated by the Apples and Microsofts who do not care about choice.
