   Most linux users don't agree w/ your point of view about there being too   
   many distributions, too much choice in desktops, or too little   
   compatibility between the packaging.   
      
   There is a solution to your 'problem'; select a base and a desktop   
   (compare that to selecting Win or Mac) and 'stick w/' that selection and   
   'ignore' all of the other varieties.   
      
   I recently saw this statement in an article by a writer arguing against   
   the inclusion of Rust as an element in linux kernel dev:

   There's a *reason* linux attracts all of that dev.   
      
   And Endeavor isn't reinventing the wheel.  Arch is a great base; XFCE is   
   a fine desktop, EOS is a good distro.
