None of that core is standardized across even a hand full of distros.
- fragmede 3y agoChrome/Chromium is quite standardized, across many distros.
- zer0zzz 3y agoName one distro that ships with chrome out of the box? I dont even think ubuntu comes with a chromium browser. That means devs cant write apps against it and just hand out exes like they do on Mac and windows.
- charcircuit 3y agoPlay Protect Certified Android and ChromeOS are popular ones among consumers
- zer0zzz 3y agoNice. Maybe more desktop distros should build on android as a core. That could solve a lot of problems.
- charcircuit 3y agoI agree. With how much resources are invested into Android for offering an OS for consumers, desktop Linux distros using the freedesktop stack are missing out. It is not easy for distros to acknowledge the sunk cost.
- fragmede 3y agoChromium is the default browser on Raspberry Pi OS.
- pjmlp 3y agoNaturally, you missed the part I mentioned it was the plan 20 years ago, not how it looks like today.

- rollcat 3y agoWhich is the entire point. Having working software beats having a standard. (Naturally having working software that adheres to a standard is even better, but at least they got their priorities right.)
- zer0zzz 3y agoThat's great, but then don't complain to your community for creating more distros? Thats the thing they are good at, because they have been given great tools to do so.
