I fail to see how the number of distros is really relevant, except to
demonstrate a healthy community. Speaking of relevance, how many distributions
matter beyond Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware, Debian, and Mint? I really hesitate to
consider the 'buntu's as a family of distributions, but as a single distribution
with a series of tailorings. From Debian to Ubuntu is a bit more of a gap,
though.
Anyway, let's say for the sake of argument that there are a dozen distributions
of significance. That's not a bad thing, at all, no matter how much a big
proprietary tries to FUD us into believing that we need one OS to rule them all.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Android is Linux, you just have to root it and install any userland you want (in
any configuration - replacing android, in a chroot, alongside - you choose).
Yes, locked computers and proprietary drivers are a problem, but those can only
get better as Linux gets more popular and several manufacturers try compete.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
