Comment 1659 for bug 1

Hi :)
Windows tries to be all things for all people on all hardware (not including Arm, hand-helds, netbooks, 'old' or low-spec hardware, phones, Apple hardware, Sony Playstation, embedded devices, servers, firewalls, routers and so on).  The result is that it is very slow, heavy and "bloated".  It's difficult to streamline for any particular purpose.  It's very vulnerable to a wide range of malware and viruses.

Even distros that have the same general idea tend to aim at slightly different niches in the market.  Mostly the wide variety is so that very different types of use can still have choices.

Between the different distros it is co-operative competition.

I think that by dividing into masses of distros and not working more
together, caused that very own problem of linux.

And moreover, some things work in Fedora and openSUSE - and not in
ubuntu, so how on earth open source can't make that open source thing
work in reality?

Aim must be good alternatives, not just amount of alternatives.
