There already are Linux standards, its just that there are lots of people developing their own distros. Asking people who are developing in their free time to contribute to a collective solution if they don't want to is forcing them to do something they don't want to do in their free time.

Linux will become big in countries that encourage their governments and companies not to use Windows, and eventually there will be a few major players for desktop beyond the big 3 for enterprise (Suse, Ubuntu, Redhat)

Astra Linux in Russia is becoming the mass adopted Linux, the longer the war goes, the more companies that won't be able to renew Microsoft licenses, the more adoption of Linux will increase.

Deepin Linux (China UOS) gets about 500 posts on it's forums in Chinese per day. That version of Linux will likely become the dominant desktop OS in China by ~2030 if the USA continues sanctions.

Linux Mint has incrementally been growing a user base and donations every month. 5 years ago they were getting 7,000 euros on average per month, today they get 12,000 euros on average per month.

I'm not worried about Linux Desktop anymore, it's a permanently established common good even if the majors like Red Hat and Ubuntu fold. And just like Lemmy and Mastodon popped up, at some point in the future Microsoft will do something greedy with Windows and people will flock to a few distros and it'll all be over then.

is this about package format or de?
