Totally, it always bugs me when people complain that Linux is too technical and fragmented and that this way it'll never be mainstream. Who cares, really. I like having all this choice. In fact I'm using FreeBSD (though it could as well have been Linux) as daily driver because I don't get these kind of choices in mainstream software. I don't care if it never gets big, if it did I probably wouldn't want it anymore.

For example Ubuntu is getting very close to that point already. They stuff lots of stuff in it that I don't want (like snaps) and make them really hard to disable completely. Exactly the kind of thing I left Windows and Mac for (as daily drivers - I still use them for my work)
