we'll present two polarizing sides for this question
|
||
|
|
</p></li><li><p>on the side of "Yes"
|
||
|
|
</p><ul><li><p>it can be beneficial as most users see it in a similar way;
|
||
|
|
the newcomers would have to be familiar with the common concepts between the mainstream distros;
|
||
|
|
having presented as a collective single effort makes it easier for communities to communicate between each other
|
||
|
|
</p></li><li><p>the notion of Linux distros being the same with different configuration does have a grain of truth to it;
|
||
|
|
presenting it as such is not exactly misleading
|
||
|
|
</p></li></ul></li><li><p>on the side of "No"
|
||
|
|
</p><ul><li><p>if presented as a single thing, the newcomers' expectation can be mislead with the notion that all distros are the same;
|
||
|
|
having explicitly introduced as an entirely different operating system can be an easier time since the user will tend to find more similarities than differences like some sort of <a href="/wiki/learning.pitfalls.tunnel-vision">Tunnel vision</a>;
|
||
|
|
this potential problem could be present with the group that expected different but it will be dealt in a different way since they already have an expectation that two Linux distros are different to one another
|
||
|
|
</p></li><li><p>most users seem to address Linux referring to the overall Linux ecosystem, not the individual operating system, subtleties of languages and all;
|
||
|
|
the Linux distro of choice is still its own bubble and it should be the main focus when presenting a Linux distro
|
||
|
|
</p></li></ul></li><li><p>overall this depends on how the Linux ecosystem is being presented and the user themselves;
|
||
|
|
this question has explicit focus on <strong>expectation and required technical expertise</strong> for the user;
|
||
|
|
both answers can end the same as it still requires effort from the user
