this has been my complaint about linux all along - fragmented. i used it
from '99 to '06 when i became ill. then used windows because it was easy
for me. when i was better, i went to mac. my mac died recently and i
tried kubuntu, devuan, and settled on opensuse because i felt it was the
most stable when compared to .deb. so here i am. i most likely wont go
back to windows or mac now. there are just too many choices out there.
