      The massively different userlands, mutable root partition by default, root by default, etc.

      They are completely different operating systems that just so happen to use the same kernel.

        And there’s your answer: that’s shit no one cares about other than a few super nerds on Lemmy.

            People care about having an OS not controlled by Big Tech.

            Sure. Ask the average person if they want to give up their Facebook or TikTok apps so they can have a ‘free’ OS. You’re absolutely delusional if you think that any significant number of consumers will choose that.
