Then they are very poor at generalization. My various machines have 
Ubuntu, Fedora KDE spin, Lubuntu, Debian with Xfce, the Raspberry Pi OS

all the same. 

The thrill of hunting down xorg.conf wherever the distro stashed it so I 
could get the right button for a left handed mouse or get a monitor 
configured sort of wore out 20 or 25 years ago.
