The fragmentation peeves me as well. The Linux community is like herding cats with fragile egos. One disagreement and a dev will go try and make their own thing, further diluting the Linux ecosystem.

There are way too many distros that are half baked trash that make it into bad listicles returned in search results.

The Linux community sabotages itself.

Stop trying to herd people? I didn't sign up for whatever agenda you're trying to advance, so of course I'm going to spit in your face when you try to tell me what to do.

Proudly. If your agenda is to take away my customization and make the Linux desktop into something with broad mainstream appeal, then I proudly sabotage that.

That's not my agenda.

Whatever your agenda is, I didn't sign up for it. And if you truly have no agenda at all, then you have no business trying to 'herd' people. Either way, pound sand.

I do not see a problem as long as there are a few good ones to choose from.
