    Yes, but that’s like saying “it’s pretty standard for DE to have one minimize button, one maximize button and a close button”. I chose clothes because they can’t be standardized for the same reason as Linux, i.e. they’re modular and people have different tastes on each of the modules, so the full thing can never be standardized even if some of the modules are quite similar among themselves.
