The Three Giants of Linux

“The Linux ecosystem is a complex entity. On one hand everyone
gets along and benefits from work done by others, while on the
other there’s often animosity and conflict between distributions
and their communities (remember when Ubuntu came along?).

“People often complain that there is simply too much choice in
the Linux world and that we’d all be better off if there was just
one, or two. However, nothing could be further from the truth.

“The multitude of Linux distributions exists for a reason. They
exist because not one single distribution can satisfy the desires
of every user on the planet. Different people like different ways
of doing things. Not only that, the distribution that one might
want to use for a server won’t necessarily suit a laptop. So
thankfully there are thousands of distros to choose from.”
