Which way then? You can't have both. Really.
Part of the attraction Linux had for beginners, was it's endless variety of distros. Distrohopping was fun, interesting and educational. That's going away, it also has the effect of reducing amount of fresh blood. After having tried a dozen distros, it gets boring. More the same in different sauce.
For more advanced users.. One could usually find fitting distro for particular use case, be it as oddball as ever. Or actually modify "close-enough" distro to fit their needs. That's slowly going away too. Systemd works (from "more or less okay" to "well") only for use cases envisioned by their devs - getting it to work outside that is an absolute copper-plated bitch.
