    Maybe if the Linux community decided on one default there would be more progress on inroads with desktop Linux.

    Well, Linus at least agrees with you. I just watch a talk he gave the other day in which he described one of the biggest problems with Linux desktop being that the distros can’t even decide on a default package manager/way to package applications and all of the difficulties that creates.

    It’s funny because even for simple stuff like when I used to update my Plex install manually I’d go to the Plex website, and the list is:

    Windows
    Mac

    Linux: Debian x 32 Bit Debian x.1 32 Bit
    Debian x 64 bit
    Debian x.1 64 Bit
    Fedora …
    Ubuntu …
    Cent …

    and god help you if you’re not on one of those versions or you don’t use one of those distros.
