Surfing the net or checking email defies concentration.

Whatever it is available! I'd like to have gigabit. But only 8 Mbps is available and slower products cost the same

Do those persons know we live in a 3D world?

Of course.

Me english to be bad. Sory!
If I establish an internet activity to provide encrypted email service I am supposed I know what encryption is for and that I won't be bale to snoop into it.
If later I say "I shut down the service not to help terrorists, as my service was meant only for horny partners and surprise birthday parties, not to really get un-snoopable communication", then I show everyone I am an incompetent and a simpleton.

Your wrong, sir! If you're UID if dividible by 47 you be on faceboek. M'ine is not.

to rule them all! Of course, you insensitive hobbit clod!

In order to get Linux growing is a similar thing.
A "ring0" with a very basic system on top of which all other distros are based.
This would avoid everyone re-inventing the warm water multiple times, while distros would focus on the other rings.
More or less the same as is seen in FreeBSD with the "GIU"derivatives.
A controlled ring0 would focus on keeping the system up and running at the very best with a centralized repo for everyone.
But you may say i am a dreamer ...

Apart of the technical points, useless in /., that would hinder the hard work in UK banks which in turn would lead to worse crisis effects!
