  • You seem to be comparing a distro release to a new game release. It’s not. A distro is not always exciting because their top priority is having a working system. This means dealing with all the boring stuff.

    It feels like there’s a shortage of meaningful innovation

    You can look at this in another way: Linux distros are getting mature

    are these distributions doing anything beyond repackaging the latest software?

    You’re saying it like packaging the latest software is a trivial task.

    typically featuring little more than a newer kernel, a desktop environment upgrade, and the latest versions of popular applications

    If you don’t think these are meaningful to you, I don’t know what is.

    Try phoronix.com if you want a more cutting edge reporting. They’re quite opinionated, but they’re usually on point about the exciting stuff.
