To refer to all distros we should plurarize Linux. The Linee! The Linuses! The Linus! The Linuxen!
I’ve used Linux since the 90s and this seems to be a video about something that’s not really a thing. I’ve seen more people discuss Hannah Montana Linux than proposing a single distro.
I don’t think it’s a popular opinion among people who actually use Linux. But I did hear it as an argument against using Linux or an attempt at explanation why it’s not more popular.
Its been somewhat new-ish that ive seen people discussing trying to get one linux distro to use. And why we should push people to use that specific linux distro. Its a strange argument but there are some talking about it.
I dont think it will ever get any real traction for the desktop. However for devices people dont know are Linux to begin with, we may get stuck (like Android for example).
I agree with Nick on this, Linux is interesting and awesome because there are so many choices for users to choose; upstream work is still shared and can be used to improve Linux as a whole. That will affect the quality of other distros going forward too.
What’s more the diversity helps with the quality. All pieces must be compatible with different variations, forcing software to be more bulletproof.
It’s amazing because you already can switch distros or just stick with one! Wow! Everyone already wins!
