I expect institutions and corporations to have an IT department that takes care of these things.
You cannot apply a personal user logic to IT infrastructure of organizations. For such an organization Linux distro the users will never deal with the package manager or any directory outside of /home.
i didn’t say anything towards Debian being good or bad. I don’t know enough about it to make such a judgement. I merely pointed out that ease of maintainability by the end user is not an argument for organizations. As for home use, people who decide to use a Linux distro at home are not the main target here. Again, an organization will make a walled garden for their end users, so similarity ends being a relevant factor past the Desktop GUI. And whether you run Gnome, KDE or a different one does not depend on the distro itself.
