Variety is good to a point. Too many alternatives and all you get is a bunch of under-resourced and unpolished results.

You think there is a dearth of software engineers out there who can't spend time on something cool like a linux distro?

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, yeah. Its pretty well established that there is fairly limited resources in open source. Loads of software engineers, very few contributors.

[–] mindlesscrollyparrot@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe because of projects that aren't interested in the opinions of distro maintainers, let alone individual contributors.
