> Lots of Linux options is actually a bad thing for most people. They want just one that does something reasonable.
Yep, exact reason (among quite a few others, but one of the primary ones) myself and so many other devs I know ultimately quit desktop Linux. It’s such a bad experience to not have one single reproducible, standardized option that the entire industry supports like Mac or windows. Check out the stackoverflow survey, which reflects it as well. Hell, I spent many years at Red Hat and probably 50% of devs and technical staff are running Mac’s for their work machines for that exact reason, and they all prefer it despite working at the most notable Linux company. They don’t care either, since RH makes virtually zero money off of desktop Linux.
