It will require so much conformity that the point of it being Linux will be lost. To put it another way, Android IS already desktop Linux.

    Things have to work together and same atleast on a very basic level for anything to be mainstream. Maybe Linux just wasn't meant to be.

      I think the Raspberry PI has made itself a kind of de facto desktop standard and so has Ubuntu. It's no good having 2 standards, however, and that is one problem - to make 1 standards you'd probably have to kill off all the distros somehow.

      The other route is where so much software ends up running in the browser that "desktop" linux becomes an irrelevant concept.

I like this article. It's not that detailed, just an opinion piece, an opinion I agree with.

I am happy that I could read things like these in a centralized website in a world where written media is either dying or behind a paywall. There are personal blogs, but who's keeping track of them?

I remember bookmarking techradar, ghacks and others, and reading it religiously every morning. Both went to shit. Don't know if Martin is on here.
