I don't think we can both agree, at least not at my current level of 
understanding of what you are trying to say. What differentiators do you 
have in mind?

 From the perspective of someone using the system who isn't writing 
systemd scripts or anything terribly technical, the differentiators on 
my end are:

- Wallpaper
- Latest GNOME packaged in a reliable manner (which I wouldn't have any 
appreciation for without knowledge many desktop users don't have)
- Logo on login screen

If we expand differentiators out from what's available on the actual 
system to the community around it, there are many in terms of the 
community philosophy, people, approach to things, etc. but a lot of that 
stuff is completely disconnected from the system itself. Like I brought 
up before - ask.fpo is completely disconnected from the system. The 
Fedora documentation and manuals are completely disconnected. You can't 
access them from within the system. You have to know they exist and know 
the URL or know what to search for in a general internet search.

I have a vague notion you may be trying to talk about how we are 
differentiated from OS X and Windows, which is absolutely a different 
conversation than how we are differentiated from our actual competitors 
who are in the same market share league (other distros.) The main 
differentiator from OS X and Windows is of course freedom.
