My take is the issue is really human-driven. In the Linux community, there’s this tendency to say, “This thing should be better,” and instead of working with others to resolve the issue, they just start a new project instead. The result? Time and attention are split across countless forks and alternatives, when they could have been collaborating to make something truly exceptional.
Think about how many man-years have been wasted trying to "fix" the same problems—whether it's the KDE vs. GNOME divide, the battle between package managers (RPM, DEB, Flatpak, Snap...), or the scattered efforts to create a mobile Linux OS. Imagine the impact if even half of that energy had been pooled into a single, shared vision.
It’s great to have choices, but at what point does “choice” turn into unnecessary fragmentation?
