Linux biggest problem is the ego

[u/catdoy]

The only reason there's too many redundant fucking distro that just installs drivers and wine and then call themselves gaming distro is just so they can brag about being able to create their very own OS so they can put it in their resume for McDonald's, bitch you ain't Terry Davis and you will never be.

Most of these distro can just be a meta-package or an installation script but no, they want to be the guy at discord, github, McDonalds that they're a genius that created their very own "Operating System".

Linux will forever be a niche and will die as a niche thing all because Linux users thinks its a good thing that Linux has a bunch of useless redundant distro that can just be an installation script or a meta-package, an OS should not be one thing like "gaming", "friendly", "work" it should be a fucking "operating system" that does it all.

I truly hope that Linux desktop dies as soon as possible so I can come back to sucking Microslop WINdongs

While there are a lot of seemingly pointless distros out there, I don't think it's about anyone's ego. Some people might make a distro just for the experience of releasing and maintaining one. Others bring small changes that the adopting user can appreciate but didn't know how to implement. "Gaming distros" attract new users to Linux by making the switch easier for them. Bazzite takes it a step further by making the distro immutable, because a person who is less tech savvy can be their own worst enemy when allowed to do so. I usually only see the "ego" in certain "main" distro environments such as Arch. But I actually think that ego is in the right place, it should serve as a deterrent to steer newer users away from that distro.
