Fragmentation is good! Old meme I posted on that site.

That's mostly fluff though. Like you show, the core is either Linux or bsd and gnu, and then you have a handful of families.

That's not fragmentation, that's freedom.

And compatibility is a big factor too. Because of gnu and posix basically, almost anything that works on one distro will work on another.

Imagine if each distro was completely locked from anything on another one. That would be fragmentation, and we wouldn't be talking about it, because it would be shit.
