>Instead of creating multiple wikis with probably 80% of duplicate information between them >why not try to turn it into a shared project? This is basically both the highlight and the bane of the Linux world. Why have another DE when there are already multiple ones? [0] Why have another package manager when there are already multiple ones? [1] Why have another distro when there are already multiple ones?

Bane? It's what makes the Linux desktop great. I get to choose a system that works like I want. Imagine if there was only Gnome or whatever unholy monstrosity is the most popular DE these days.

>Why make a green bikeshed when there's already a red bikeshed? Because then you have two bikesheds. An important aspect of the fact that the bikeshed exists, as a separate entity not integrated with the house, is that you can choose a different one. Specifically, the one that's already painted the way you want. Maybe you don't think this is a feature in your current circumstance. Others do, which is why it persists.
