The GuhNoo world desperately needs adult supervision.
MS-haters are free to do what they want, but the resulting 1000+
distros - the large majority of which are barely used - has been a
gigantic waste of time and effort.
How many billions do you think all those distros have cost to produce?
Who do you think should be the ones to provide the “adult supervision”?
The Authority.
Should it be Microsoft or Apple to go around buying all these distros
and shutting them down? How much would that cost?
Buy them? They're worthless. And they're dead already. Nobody pays or
donates, and nobody uses them. If the devs had any shame they would've
removed them from the market a long time ago.
What would stop new ones from appearing?
Devs having the personal dignity and self-control to not put out
derivative crapola.
For instance, despite contributions to LibreOffice from over 1000
people, the Base database component has been extremely substandard and
unchanged for years ...
Really??
Yes, really.
