Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux
redlemace@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI see your point but there are to many options and preferences. For one, the borders to what is “Major hardware” are very subjective. So are people’s need. (I’m your opposite: I must have a terminal, I don’t care one bit about video acceleration and and my interest steam is an absolute zero)
So do that and you might end up with a windows-alike crappy platform. My expectations (and/or) hopes are that different distro’s will keep focusing on different users groups. Some perfect for gaming, another for developers, a few for daily usage of email & browsing and so on

What you need isn’t what everyone needs. I suspect you’ll have a very hard time finding massive numbers of windows users who only need a terminal.
I sincerely hope that you don’t need one distribution for games and another for developers, Having to reboot to play games is why we’ve had such bad penetration for years.
Every distro needs to be able to handle all the video cards from the last decade. Lutris and Steam need to run really well everywhere or we’ll take forever to get proper market penetration.
