Just to clarify - I do not actually feel that we need "1 linux".  I'm
just saying that the reason things aren't as easy as on mac is because
there is not just "1 linux".  Personally, I'm completely fine with linux
being a thriving ecosystem, and for daily use I stick to using Fedora +
extras, knowing that this is a window on the larger ecosystem that Just
Works.

So what I'm saying is that user should choose their own "1 linux", be it
fedora, ubuntu, suse, .... and live within the boundaries of that.  I
personally feel that homogenizing distros to the point where they're
pretty much the same is a bad thing - I like how stuff gets fed back
between distros and how some distros have different focus points and the
good approaches tend to end up in all of them.

In reality, Mac is not just "1 os" either, there's still plenty of
people working on macos8, 9, ...
