The fact that less than 5% of desktop users and 0% of mobile users [0] use Linux speaks for itself. All the effort that went into creating distros could have been focused on few high-quality ones.
[0]: Android uses the Linux kernel which is almost the same across distros, but isn't per se a Linux OS. I'm talking about real Linux running on a mobile phone.
- pixelpoet 2y agoMost mobile users can't even spell PC (let alone use one), and blame autocorrect for that. To expect them to use a Linux distro is pretty unrealistic when they can't even use Windows: https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-directory-structure-education-gen-z https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-direc...
- balder1991 2y agoThis argument makes no sense considering the diversity of tastes and desires in the community. It’s incredibly difficult to put more people to work together and achieve superior results, especially if it’s something decentralized and voluntary. You can pretty well end up with more chaos and internal conflicts instead.
- soulofmischief 2y agoWhy are you so hellbent on dictating how volunteers spend their time? Have you ever considered that these people are satisfied with their interests and truly could not care less about your opinion? Or that your opinion is just that-- yours? Not some absolute truth? Anyway, it's beside the point, as there are multiple high quality Linux distributions to choose from, thanks to a large de-duplication of efforts through libraries.
