Get your shit together, make a single LTS distro that doesn’t rely on repositories that arbitrarily depreciate core packages, and can install on 95% of retail hardware first try, INCLUDING laptops, then maybe we’ll revisit this.

Linux distros are not a monolith. It’s note made by one single entity, but instead assembled from various projects runs by different people and companies. All the distros do are assembling them into a single system and add their own special sauces on top. How are you going to propose to unify all those diversities? Rallying everyone behind a single company like Red Hat? We all know what would happen when one company get to control the whole ecosystem.

In my opinion, having multiple distros competing on features is the best things that can happen to us. When one popular distro lost their way and start to alienate their users, there will be other distros those users can choose from.
