Let's not. Suppose they gave a war and nobody came?
From my user point of view, it makes almost no difference what Linux I'm running on. It might as well be a Linux called Mac OS X if it gets the job done: it feels the same to me.
What I like: * reliability * easy upgrading * lots of software that's fairly recent that's also easy to install * security I don't have to think about. What I don't like: * tedious gatekeeping over what to include over licences resulting in unmaintained, ancient packages in the distro * unnecessary questions during package upgrades. No, I don't know what /etc/frammitz.conf does, and I'm unlikely to care when it changes * unreliable, untested technology like Wayland that breaks user stuff that I need. I'd give a distro a pass if they provide all the sharing stuff I rely on under X under Wayland and make it work identically. In other words, I don't want to care about what technology it's using. * having more than one package management system (snapd, I'm looking at you) * KDE cheers, Stewart
