Why doesn't someone just put out a decent desktop distro called "Linux

Off you go then. Seriously. If I had a dollar for everyone who had said
"someone should should..." or "Why doesn't someone..." and then did
nothing I would be a very rich man indeed.

Fortunately there are far more competent ppl than me who could put
distros together. Isn't there a ubuntu developer on this list? Now
there's someone who might want to take the idea up.
Maybe they already have a job building a distro they like.
Fine, but what does the name tell you - nothing... You wouldn't even
know it was Linux let alone what its target use is. Even on their web
site they find it necessary to explain the meaning of the word. All
nice touchy feely motherhood stuff that says nothing and certainly
doesn't provide guidance for the prospective Linux switcher. I won't
even bother to describe my own reaction when I first heard the name...
