I don't know enough to offer constructive criticism for either system. I forgot about run levels until this article. I like that pizza analogy though. I might steal it lol

Yeah, I like having distro options, but there's too many leading to choice paralysis for me anyway. And then after that, you have to pick a desktop lol
See this is what I mean. If we had decent marketing, we’d all know to pick the desktop environment first to narrow down the selection. The distribution rarely if ever matters.
You're not wrong, but the way FOSS is setup with so many individual contributors with varying ideas. Idk how you get people on the same page. Hence the rust in the kernel "discussion" 😂
Basically they all need to realise their projects aren’t Linux as such, they’re their own thing. Steam doesn’t market SteamOS as arch, same with chromeOS or android. Then the discussion is less about ‘the pizza’ idea, and more about ‘their pizza’ idea. What do they do different that matters?
Like how many users would Debian pull in if they said:
“Hate constant updates that break your workflow? Security is important but do you really need every new feature going? Well here at Debian you can have the same look for two decades, stay safe online, have your cake and eat it too.”
Exactly. They’re saying it’s ’their Linux based operating system’. It’s subtle, but different. Normal users think about installing steam os, not Linux. That’s why Ubuntu was a leader in the beginning too, and why mint is leading now among new adopters. If anything, Linux is a philosophy and kernel.
Please do, I wish Linux had better marketing and this whole distros thing is way too complicated. You get one from the menu or you build your own with arch.
