Sometimes I wonder how the Linux distro landscape would have looked if there hadn't been a new distro for a new use case or design choice or disagreement among lead devs? Could we have allocated the resources better at battling with Wi-Fi not working, USB creaking on the turns? Or those would have stayed the way they are, because these mostly come or should come from the OEMs/vendors? Would this be better for them if the onus was not to make it work on hundreds (or is it thousands?) of flavours?

That was my hope, between Slackware 2.0 and around 2010, eventually I got Windows 7 and a laptop that supported virtualization, installed VMWare Workstation, and that was it, my zealot years were gone.

Still got an ASUS netbook though, a market killed by tablets and chrombooks.
