Going against whatever hole that perspective came from: We don't have nearly enough distributions, we need more distributions with strong opinions, new solutions and just "far out there" ideas.

    Rude

    (A perspective based on 25 years of using Linux fwiw)

      It's a hole because it's pessimistic, borderline antagonistic and against more user choices. I guess the hacker in me just feels weird reading someone wanting less choices on a forum for curious hackers.

so we should just have 2-3 distros monopolize the world? hmm I think i'd rather keep having new distros pop out challenging the current quota.

    I didn't say that. Silly strawman

      That is the natural place it would end up at if new distros stopped being made as some would start dying off and you're basically just left with fedora, arch, debian while everything else fades with time.

      Not to mention that distros like catchy help to push these changes into mainline.
