xkcd 927 how standards proliferate
- lproven 3y agoWhich, again, is linked and mentioned in TFA. I know because I wrote it. « This is better than not having one – or, even worse, having more than one, as XKCD 927 beautifully illustrates. »
- eternityforest 3y ago927 is a really overused comic. It doesn't apply if companies are big enough to push them pretty much by fiat. There are no true competing standards because none of them are built into Ubuntu, which is a major benefit. It you make a snap package you know any Ubuntu user can install it on very few clicks. The only other things built into Ubuntu are apt and manual install, which have obvious issues and aren't direct competition.
