It's so funny watching the proprietary OS folks despair as their software falls to pieces to make shareholders richer, meanwhile my Linux distro has "just worked" since 2007. You don't have to keep running on this treadmill, folks.

The delusion of the “Mac just works” crowd is only matched by the delusion of the Linux “year of the Desktop” crowd.

They share the same trait of “it works on my machine, I like it, therefore it’s my identity and everything else is wrong”

I use Linux regularly as a second OS for more than 15 years. Driver compatibility improved, software design and quality didn’t, in fact it suffers more or less the same problems of other mainstream OSs.

Linux on the desktop has been winning because the others got bad at a faster pace, I’m not sure there is anything to be celebrated.
