When all USB could do was 5V I already didn’t trust any charger but mine - I couldn’t believe people dared to connect their devices to charge into any public USB chargers.

Now that they can go up to 20V, and we have to trust everything will work with the negotiation and wiring to get the right voltage, it’s even scarier!

Why do you have two default routes?

The last line in your table also doesn’t look right.

Suppose kubuntu, ubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu were packages to be installed on top of debian.

How would you do that? Debian would not create and maintain a “core debian” variant just to be installed then receive the extra packages. Would the *ubuntu packages replace, instead of add on top of default debian packages?

Then where would the updates come from? Both debian and *ubuntu repositories?

What about dependencies? Would debian have to coordinate with all *ubuntu maintainers (and they too, between them) for compatibility tests every time debian needed to update one of its packages? Or they’d just update and *ubuntu would have to scramble to release fixes for what had been broken?

Not to mention convenience; would you have to download debian, download *ubuntu, install debian, then your *ubuntu?

Why not then package the “core debian”, with the tested component versions that work with the *ubuntu packages you’re downloading? Hey, and what about script the installation to install both “core debian” parts and then *ubuntu automatically? That’s an innovative idea indeed. No, wait, isn’t it sort of what they already do today?

It’s not like there’s a Linux headquarters with a centralized organization that releases all multiple distros just to feed the hobby of distro hoppers. Distros are maintained and packaged by different people, and it’s already a lot of trouble to keep each part in sync.
