Whoa, just to clarify my comment I meant nothing about Linux being suitable
for the desktop or for the average user, whatever that might be.
Just for the record I think of Linux as a much more sophisticated and
complex OS than Windows and Mac. By no means do I think otherwise. It is not
an easy click and go as can claim Mac. It isn't what most PC users use and
care to know. I am glad it is exists as an option.
But a standard would simplify Linux and create a large community among
different distros as it started out to be. Now though it seems that they are
all drifting apart. I have heard about this kind of suggestion and the vast
majority of response are very angry in tone. I guess some don't like Linux
being changed from what it is now. There are of course exceptions to every
rule.
Things are a little disorderly but I hope things will work themselves out.
