This was written about 8 years ago. Do you feel the Linux landscape has objectively improved? Why? Why not?

No, the choices are absolutely not clear in any way. The literal only way to learn the differences in function is to use them.

That's a ridiculous thing to say. You're being disingenuous.

I'm absolutely not. You're projecting your experience onto people who don't have it.

The idea that the average user can learn literally anything about how an OS works from a screenshot of a desktop or a table of features that means nothing to them is delusional. They have no frame of reference for any of it. It's completely and utterly meaningless.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
