No. It's a problem, if you as distro maker support non-technical consumers as well.
Imagine troubleshooting Windows but you also have to figure out which DE, WM, libraries the user updated and so on.

You mean AppImage, Snap, etc.
- tuna74 1y agoThe point of a distro is to select what you support. SteamOS only has one DE etc.
- Ygg2 1y agoExcept the user-base wants infinite customizability, and users are often to mess with it. And getting the code to just work together nicely is a nightmare, where OS updates can break drivers, forcing you to try to jerry rig a solution that partially works.
- tuna74 1y agoYou let something like Arch target those users that want infinite customizability. SteamOS certainly does not offer that. And if there was such a nightmare to create a distro, how come there are so many?
