Two main points:
- no one unified distro to keep things simple (thread OP)
VS
- people don’t care. Someone else needs to advocate, sell, migrate, and support (medium term) Linux (whichever distro they want) for the intermediate term (few months at least) - thread response).
I think a lot of the 97% desktop market share is like this, instead of the hands on 2-3%.
I was afraid someone was going to point out that AOSP exists, but it’s not very useful.
The Android that everyone uses and talks about is very closed, because everything depends on the playstore.
