This is more a question for non-power users. They are the key to widespread adoption and supplanting Windows. The OS has to be user friendly to the point that people don’t need to worry about the terminal unless absolutely necessary but still flexible enough to not alienate the power users that want to dive deep into it.

It’s a common practice for car manufacturers. It lets a company gain more market penetration without diluting the expensive brand with cheap models. Companies can start in either camp and create sub brands in either direction. Hyundai for example had their affordable brands Hyundai and Kia, but also have Genesis as their upscale brand. It can also allow each sub company “friendly” competition as with Kia and Hyundai. They share some features and frameworks but they can each have their own teams focusing on different design languages and packages that let them go after the same market and some different edge cases . Ultimately, yeah illusion of choice but there are still some differences.

Ffs. It’s too late for me but there is still time to delete this.

My desktop is amd 2700 cpu and nvidia 3080. I have been on Linux for at least a year now. Nobara was okay but borked itself from an update. Bazzite is my current os and it’s been rock solid for gaming. Just use protondb to make sure individual games work right.

I think they are just trying to set expectations. A ton of people conflate digital painting and photo manipulation so if an app can’t do both like Photoshop they think it’s trash.
