You went All in On Web :D, what about other Systems and Tools, thanks

I agree, its clear from the Corp companies, that is why i cant stop wondering about the focus of developers, why each month we get a new framework, new project that tackle the same or similar project as an already existing project. Why not get together and let the best idea win, too often do i read about philosophies and differences, one such i would mention Debian vs Devuan

Full disclosure i am not a Software engineer or architect

Thanks

I like the part in Photoshop, Where you could say for what you wish to use it and it would rearrange the menus or add and remove certain options which are needed for that Use case, this and some other cases influenced my question,

Do you think it is a waste of resources having so many tools which do so many things the same way + a few unique options,

I like the ShareX tool (screen recording) which asks me to install the extra feature if i wish to use Screen recording, (goes back to the previous comenter who mentioned it is basically packages)

I hope i am making myself clear in the questions and comments :D , not a native eng speaker and also didnt really prepare the question well, it just came to me in a rush as it was stuck in my head for a long time, sorry about that,

Sometimes i look at old software and some new one (sublime text) where devs worked hard for our resources where as today, (luckily i have 16 GB) there seems to be a lack for performance or the will to design efficient systems (due to abundance of resources in PCs?)

What did you mean isolating users into groups? I wouldnt want that :D, but i mentioned it as a layer on top of Core things, example

All users want video and web tech - but then some are more specific - these specifics would be the packages they get bundled on top of core features, and the Collective groups of devs work on those

Linux drivers and installing certain software is sometimes a real pain and can vary from distro to distro , if the linux is to succeed shouldnt we collectively fight to avoid this barrier

Forgive me folks its my first time doing this i think i jump here and there ;D perhaps even confusing you sometimes...

I will update the email Thanks

I asked the question because of Distro Watch, i was always wondering why are there so many Linux Distros, why not work on just a few Distros United, while enabling the modularity where each group would have a piece of their vision while enabling the users to chose which one they would use,

could this fragmentation be the cause for the lack of Linux presence on the Desktop?

Rather than uniting the forces, and building experiences on top of functionality, they each build their own experience their own way in hopes of attracting users...

Thanks

But why not work collaboratively to improve the existing one? I understand the package manager, please if possible share the groups links or anything pointing in the direction, i would like to explore. Thanks

Missing from top:

These Days there is a new project for an already existing project on the same topic which is in a Way fragmenting the Market more and more - Yes Different features etc etc. but why not work on a common problem - Extend the functionality and allow the user to chose the things he needs - You buy a lego set and you can mix and match with a set from 10 years ago

Is it because everyone wants to lead a project, opinions differ on the solution approach or something else
