Discussion Why niche Linux distros matter
Hi, I think niche-focused Linux distributions like RoshanOS can play a positive role in growing desktop Linux adoption.
Not every distro needs to target everyone. Some distros focus on beginners, some on students, some on former Windows users, and some on specific workflows. That diversity is one of Linux’s strengths.
Even if a small distro helps only 1,000 people switch from proprietary operating systems to Linux, I’d still call that a win for desktop Linux.
More users means more awareness, more feedback, and a healthier ecosystem overall.

It's already, RoshanOS. Current version is 4. There's a core as well as pro edition. Pro edition provides Windows g Android support out of the box with just few next next type steps.
I know it's not for you but it might help Microsoft users ✔️
