There may be 350 distros, but in reality, only a handful are widely used,
and the common features among them far outweigh their differences. Haiku

Not sure about that, Haiku isn't like Linux at all.
Haiku, if it really is like BeOS, is not slower than
Windows like Linux, it is a lot faster!

Linux is slower than Windows? What?!?

IMO it is a waste of effort more then anything, to release
350 + versions of Linux, it's kind of a joke really.

Oh, yes, what a terrible waste it is to have five billion people on
the planet when a few hundred would do nicely. All that variety is
such wasted effort. "You can have any color car you want, as long as
it's black."

You really should try to learn about things before you pontificate on
them. Your ignorance is the real joke here.
