A few years ago I installed FreeBSD on my main machine, and actually used it for some time (6ish months?).
It was really nice that I could actually google things, and usually come to a mailing list or the FreeBSD manual for my version of the OS, and then actually be able to find what I was looking for and have it work (most of the time).
It's the opposite with Linux. Yeah, this is just another "hey lets copy osx and pretend we're actually doing something real" project, and more than likely, everything will work fine just like in the standard ubuntu, but it's still just another fragment in the already overcrowded and starting-to-stink-from-all-the-dead-projects ecosystem.
I get the freedom to do everything you want, fork this, change that, I get that 100%, but man it would be nice to have Linux be unified.
