This smells like IBM a lot.

    Doesn’t this basically straight up kill distributions like Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux etc.?

      Which is just a good thing. Fragmentation has gone way too wide just to confuse the first-time users. Less projects with more working hands leads to a better solution.

      The mobile linux is silly as well. 3 separate projects while none is ready. Still they all flood the aur with mobile apps.

      Why there must be Cinnamon, XFCE and LxQt while they all looks 100% the same for end-user, but none supports Wayland, VRF or HDR? Those are standards which attracts first-time users than never-ending and confusing comparison between distros and DE’s.

        I want to disagree with fragmentation being bad. It won’t take much to reduce the number of choices; Canonical and Ubuntu will surely be sold off to someone in 1-2 years. I would not want a few choices and then Microsoft just has to buy them and say “got you good! Bye bye Linux”.
