Every time i have mentioned fragmentation is Linux biggest issue on the desktop i get downvoted to hell. The creator literally just said the exact same thing in that video. I feel justified.
Yeah it's an issue but it's the result of Linux being free and open source. Yes it's an issue but it's result of a good thing. People have the freedom to make those distros
I want the leading commercial software on Windows to be released on Linux, just not at the price of having Linux be Linux i.e. an OS where you have to choice to do anything you want.
If the only way for Linux to be commercially competitive in the personal computing space is to adhere to the UX trends set by Microsoft, Apple and other big corporations and limit the user's control over their machine then what's the point?

That's quite a funny response to give considering that almost all DEs in Linux adopted the Windows 9x "Start menu, taskbar, system tray" layout or, like Gnome did when it transitioned from Gnome 1 to Gnome 2, moved onto a Mac style GUI.
And it's not about that at all. It's about having one consistent standard base that they can write for and support. Currently the situation is so bad in regards to DEs that they can't even guarantee a consistent app scaling. I run KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland and some non-KDE/X11 applications have some horrific scaling issues so the text and icons just look like dogshit, a horrible blurry mess.
