       Petition to rename "the Linux desktop" to the FreeDesktop. It solves the whole GNU/Linux debacleIt's a really solid way (IMO) of differentiating Chrome OS or Android from the likes of Debian, Fedora, etcAll without excluding Alpine, the BSDs, or any non-GNU system that still supports the whole philosophy that we've come to think of as "the Linux desktop"Porting "Linux" software to *BSD is much easier than porting it to Android for this exact reason, even if the kernels are the same#linux

       Stuff like the XDG desktop specification, DBUS, Xorg/Wayland, Mesa, etcAll stuff that ACTUALLY matters when porting software, originates from the FreeDesktop.org These standards are used whether you're on Linux (GNU or not), BSD, GNU/Hurd, nowadays even Haiku has FreeDesktop components ported to it
