I’ve used Linux in the past, and I’ve also installed Linux on several computers for my family. The user experience stunk to high heaven, and I had to admit to myself and my family members that, Linux just wasn’t right for prime time. It’s still not right for prime time, even if it’s a good or the best solution for servers.
Consumer-side computing cannot allow for experimentation, and Linux is a decades-long experiment (on the consumer side).
Standards are defined as what is the more accepted and easier to use and which people have the least number of complaints about. Linux will never be Windows or even OSX or Android or iOS. The Linux people (developers) are still trying to emulate the Windows experience with their OS, and if standards to them means being more “Windows-like”, then, they’re looking at Windows as the standard.
No matter how anyone wants to spin it or put in, Windows is the standard. Closed or not. The standard is also defined by what most machines use, and Windows is what most PCs use. So, standards for computing have been defined for at least 3 decades, and Linux ain’t it.
