- Many other Distros such as Solus, Antergos, Elementary and a bunch of

- truest of GNU sense, one thing is done really well while the overall system is packaged and implemented rather poorly.
- It's commonly referenced thing by Bryan Lunduke too in his 'Linux Sucks' talk,
- usually also referred to as Distro Fragmentation. Instead of collaborating,
- every single guy in the Linux world capable of working on a distro runs off
- and tries to build their own perfect system by reinventing the wheel instead of
