      Because thos distros suck for any kind of real life use case. If you want a working OS with for gaming, your office job or just regular browsing, then this ain’t it chief. If you want to have a project you have to tinker with every day, then sure, go for it! But most people don’t want to be bothered by their OS.

      These distros reject everything that is not free as in free speech. This means no binary drivers, no binary firmware, no binary software. While this is very idealistic, not in a bad way, it might be impractical for most people. Start with an “easy” Linux, you can always go the hardcore way afterwards.

        Especially people who play any kind of semi-modern game. The open source nvidia drivers are just not there when it comes to performance.
