    I hate the original “14 standards” xkcd comic with a passion. People should try shit and see if it works, if multiple standards works then compatibility layers/bridges will also be built.

    I’m happy that multiple DE exist, I love having multiple choice for my init system (and I say this while liking a lot of what systemD offer), bootloader, text editor, etc…

          I am guessing that they are referring to the situation, that while all usb-c can be connected to each other you can have very different ones. Fast data transfer and slow. 10 watt and 100 watt and so on

            Fair enough, but isnt most of that circumvented by getting good cables ?

            Tbh USB-C was a godsend I bought in early but I prefer having to grapple wether my cables are up to par than if I have a fitting one at all :D

              I find the current situation much better than having 33 usb standards and a cable for each and 99 adapters…

              So yes it is better. Every usbc cable will work (also I think there are less “power only” cables now)
