Why are there so many different linux distributions and how do they really differ from the users perspective?
In: Technology
Think of why there are so many different cars. Some people like different colors. Some people trust different manufacturers (maintainers). Some people dislike the position of the cup holders or how the engine isn’t powerful. Some people need the truck to tow or a minivan to carry kids while others prefer a motorcycle or sedan.
Different distributions will cater to and fit different people. Some will support the newest hardware at the risk of more bugs, some will be 100% stable but miss out on the newest features. Some will be barebones, some will come decked out with features.
