If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS.

    Because it triggers the tribal instinct, innit.

    "I use A, so A must be better than B. Otherwise I'm wrong, and I don't like that."

    The reality, of course, is that there is no "Best distro" for all use cases, and personal choice is absolutely a qualifier in defining those use cases. If your personal requirement is for a neon pink desktop and rather aged theming aimed at little girls, then you've absolutely chosen "The best distro" for you and don't let anyone tell you differently.

    I think it’s a double edged sword.

    On the one side, you can see it as bringing more attention to Linux and allowing a broader audience to find Linux.

    On the flip side, the threads about which distro is best can get very toxic.

      Made infinitely more entertaining by the fact they're all more or less the same under the hood with minor differences packed ontop of the same Linux kernel
