Naming does not have any relation with standardisation. What is the
standard of being my name is Nasim and yours is Jewel or someone
else's is Joe?

OS standards do exist and developers follow them. Windows has its own
standards and Unix world has its own (called POSIX). That is why all
Windows works the same even the cosmetics are different. Also Linux,
BSD, Mac, Solaris, etc. works the same even cosmetics and some of the
underlying techs vary.

There is absolutely no need for having the same kind of name for
similar type of software. It is better to have different and catchy
names.

When you suggest windows control panel should behave like linux system
preference you are encouraging the memorisation. Literacy is not
memorising.

If you take a look at the existing desktop environments for Linux
around you, you'll see gnome, kde, etc. do call their things
differently. And that is what things should be. Having choices is the
main goal of the open source movement. This is the exact reason you
have thousands of Linux distro, hundreds of desktop environments, etc.
You can hop around them and make a choice of yours.
