Are they so different that it's justified to have so many different distributions? So far I guess that different package manager are the reason that divides the linux community. One may be on KDE and one on GNOME but they can use each other's packages but usually you are bound to one manager
Oh no, there are 5 package managers out there and they're all wildly different
I know! I'll make a standard, universal package manager that'll be better than all the others that everyone will use!
There are now 6 different package managers
