It will require so much conformity that the point of it being Linux will be lost. To put it another way, Android IS already desktop Linux.

I think the Raspberry PI has made itself a kind of de facto desktop standard and so has Ubuntu. It's no good having 2 standards, however, and that is one problem - to make 1 standards you'd probably have to kill off all the distros somehow.
The other route is where so much software ends up running in the browser that "desktop" linux becomes an irrelevant concept.
Things have to work together and same atleast on a very basic level for anything to be mainstream. Maybe Linux just wasn't meant to be.
