Why are there so many different linux distributions and how do they really differ from the users perspective?
In: Technology
Anyone can make their own Linux distribution. YOU can make your own Linux distribution. A lot of people did make their own distro, tweaked it to their own liking and shared it out. Some companies made their own distro and shared it out. Some of these distros were focused on the latest software tech, some were focused on stability and security. Some distros were made for programmers, some were made for the User Experience. Some of the best tweaks and configurations of all those distros were used by some one/company to make even better Linux distribution.
That’s why some distros are so similar: they share the same parents, and that’s why the user experience differs between them: they are for different audiences.
