I've been a GNU/Linux user for a little over 8 years now and I can't help but to rant about one of the biggest issues plaguing the Open Source Desktop Operating System Community as a whole.

I'm not entirely sure on what I should begin with but when other Linux users tell others (Windows Users) to switch to Linux, one of their primary reasons is that it's light weight and there is less bloat than on Windows which is stupid because anyone who uses Windows can easily debloat their system by editing the registry and using tools randoms put up on GitHub.

The only reason to get others to switch to Linux I feel like is security, you basically have full control of your system and its processes but that only really matters if you're an esl pedo.

Every Distro of Linux I have used is basically the same and they all have their unique bugs and issues because some distros decide to use pipewire, some choose to use pulseaudio, some decide to use wayland, some decide to use xorg, some even let you decide but even with the decision of the user the stability and usability of their Linux system is never guaranteed.

Why doesn't the Open Source Community work together on one major Operating System Project, it can be based on whatever... I am pretty sure that the Open Source Community hasn't come to this because of their Pride and Selfishness and so they all run their own projects like these many DISTROS that I keep seeing pop up, there's like 5 new ones every year and they are all horrible.

In order for the Open Source Community to come together and to make one big successful Operating System Project that they can all contribute to there needs to be structure because the current Open Source landscape lacks that structure.

Half of the Open Source landscape right now is controlled by large companies like Red Hat and IBM.

On another note, behead Rust trannies, the open source community is full of faggot pedophiles like stallman who I've talked to. Thank you.

give me a good reason to read that.

They are half right. To most normalfags, security is never a concern because they have never been hacked on Windows and will likely never will.
>Why doesn't the Open Source Community work together on one major Operating System Project,
Nobody trusts anybody else to do that. You have to remember that even though OSS is a thing and there are a million different standards, there are also other big players who are generally guiding the whole thing and for the most part: Nobody trusts them to be the be-all-end-all of Linux or OSS. That's just creating another Microsoft, and some of these companies are ran by companies like IBM who are Microsoft on Steroids.

If you just want a concise Linux experience and you do not care at all about any of the features or customization, just tell your friends to install Fedora and Mint and don't even tell them there's a larger OSS ecosystem at large. The larger Ecosystem exists because nobody trusts these OSS companies to work in their best interests.

Remove the hate speech and slurs when processing the text

Here is a cleaned and condensed summary of the original text, excluding all hate speech and slurs:

"Linux lacks cohesion; distro fragmentation and inconsistent software choices hurt usability and stability."

I agree with everything you said. But I think this is by design. Linux was infiltrated a long time ago by Microsoft. The fight was over before it even began.

@grok summurize this in 5 words or less

Contrarians and necessities. There will never be a mutually agreed on set of principles because we're all different and there are contrarian retards that ruin things.

Why can't people use XDG specifications so that all software doesn't shit up my home directory? Some of the developers of the software are contrarians, so they intentionally ignore it which leaves shit all over my fucking home directory.

What are you going to do about this? You can either hunt them down and kill them which is illegal or you can post basedjack pictures and seethe about it, or you can just decide it's not worth getting emotional over and ignore it.

you aren't fitting in. Go back and transition with all the other autogynephile shartykids.

>muh security
security updates are a meme unless you are clinically retarded. If you are , then you should probably stick to up to doot windows version, since linux security has been widely criticised by many securitytroons.

I don't see ITsec people playing console wars with OSes. Those that aren't in on the grift are too busy having to explain shit like
>antivirus creates attack surface and is an active detriment
>Active Directory is a pozzed anus
>stop using macros you dumb niggers
>Cisco products have hardcoded backdoors and always will
ad infinitum without anyone listening.

This further exemplifies the problem with Linux onboarding. You say 'concise', yet your recommendation still leaves options that leave the average layman confused. Even if you narrowed it down to just Mint, there's still like 3 or 4 different packages to choose from. This doesn't stop others from recommending other distros either. Even if no-one comes together to make one ultimate distro, you could all at least pick one, just one, to onboard new users with.

We have this very same retarded thread each fucking week.
>I've used Leenuks for a gorillion years
No, you haven't. You just said that to make your post seem a bit more "reasonable" (it's not)
>Windows can easily debloat their system by editing the registry and using tools randoms put up on GitHub.
Normalfags don't care about any of that. I rather have my normo friends use something "bloat-less" from the very beginning instead of messing around with scripts and the registry tool, otherwise might as well use fucking Arch. Not to mention you would still be using Windows, just slightly better. A polished turd is still a turd.
>Every distro is actually the same except they actually are not
Brilliant.
>Why not one distro
Because different people = different needs. I don't care about compiling everything on my computer, but Gentoo users do. I don't care about bledding-edge, but Arch users do. I care about a comfy desktop environment, but some people don't and prefer a tiling wm. You can't simply make a single Linux distro and force people to use it, that's like saying you want to create a single footwear size. Actually forget that, the "universal" distro already exists, it's Ubuntu, just go and use it, why would you care about what other people are using? Even if somehow every single developer on the Linux ecosystem joined forces to kill Winblows or whatever, it wouldn't last a second. Fedora devs would want to remove something important, Gnome ones would close your bug reports, the freetards would remove the coreutils because "achkshually they are not 300% free", and so on. Just stick to whatever OS you like and that's it, and contribute to it if you want to help.

I've been using linux for more than a quarter of a century and I can't be bothered to read your pointless screed.
