Are they so different that it's justified to have so many different distributions? So far I guess that different package manager are the reason that divides the linux community. One may be on KDE and one on GNOME but they can use each other's packages but usually you are bound to one manager
Nice! I'm coming from arch with systemd so it'll be interesting to play around with runit too. Definitely going to give it a tinker.
Thanks for the info!
