The plurality of Linux distros is often spotlighted as some kind of issue. I agree that "fragmentation" is a marketing headache, but a technical one?
I don't think so.
Using Linux is (to me) inherently about choice. My choice, your choice, other people's choice. People choice to approach things in different ways for different reasons for different results. To experiment. To push boundaries. Reinvent. Rethink.
Linux is, for me, a momentum or a force, not a standardised end product or ideal.
@omgubuntu It is quite true. However, developers tend to find it difficult to build products for multiple platforms. This problem will hopefully be eradicated with the steady rise of Snaps and Flatpaks. The Linux community presents a place for technical innovation. It may not become the standard but I believe more people should soon consider it as a viable alternative.
