In 20+ years of Linuxing, I've never heard anyone ask for one distro. I think the overlap of 'people who want fewer choices' and 'people who are interested in Linux' is very, very small.
Unfortunately, I've seen it quite a bit here on Lemmy. People suggest that all of the Linux ecosystem should come together and focus on creating one perfect distro, with one DE, one audio system,..... and so on.
I have no proof of this, but I always picture them silently adding "....and it should be the one I currently enjoy, obviously" in their head.
I'd wager they just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the free software ecosystem operates.
You could take it as an opportunity to educate them on how distros are cobbled together from software made by different people, most of whom have no affiliation with the distro in question.
Yeah, fair. You seem to possess a lot more patience than myself though... I usually don't bother responding to the comments in question, simply because there is no chance of this happening anyways.
