I never said there shouldn't be one, I said there are good reasons for most people to not migrate that need to be resolved before they will be one.
I don't think it's annoying to have a million distros that each have their own quirks and problems with my system because I don't want people to move out of Windows, I think it's annoying because it IS, and it's one of several reasons preventing me and many others from moving out of the corporate walled gardens.
You sure fooled me. Your whole attitude in this thread is anger at the simple truth: the vast majority of computing done by end users is done in a web browser, and therefore many people could switch oses and barely notice any negative impact. How much irreplaceable desktop software are you running that shapes this perspective?
I'm a power user by all measures and i still typically have no more than 2-3 apps running outside my browser. And even most of those are cross platform apps. It seems like you're time traveling from 2005 with this take.
