    this is a Just World fallacy, assuming the best thing will always be adopted and therefore everything not adopted is worse than [current thing], when it is entirely possible that there are in fact better options

      But in this case, there were extensive technical talks over multiple distributions.

      Debian is probably the best example of how the options were pitted against each other with systemd then winning on its merits.

      This is not a Just World fallacy because I’m not talking about justice or people getting what they deserve. My assumption is that OS developers are competent. Until I see otherwise I’ll maintain that assumption.
