What I like about Open Source Freedom of choice! Standardized Linux????? [View all]
There are discussions on the web that Open Source Distributions are too Fragmented and that there should be one type of standard that all Linux Distributions, that one standard would help it become a main stream desktop OS. I disagree, what is your opinion?
I think it would be a sad day for open source if all had to conform to one standard and one only. Too much like Windows, For example we all know that Ubuntu has decided that Unity is what they are basing their OS on. So what if Unity became the only desktop standard all other distribution could only use a form of Unity in their OS's to stay with a Linux standard, Boring? So what happens if Unity is not good for you, back to Windows? I think that a standard like that would kill Linux desktop. Linux desktop may never have any where near the number of Windows users. I enjoy the choices it gives me. How about you? oo
