      Problem is that Linux isn't just a hobby project anymore. Everything (kernel, utils, init, driver, desktops) are managed by groups/companies, they're not just indies in their spare time now. But they're not communicating, which puts them at a severe disadvantage with macOS and Windows where all projects that make up the OS are in very tight communication with one another and arent even afraid to have entire projects rewritten if it makes things better. Windows has had several major component rewrites in it's history and nobody even noticed. People chirp about systemd adoption and compositor rewrites, Windows has had this stuff happen in the background for years and it's been a complete non-issue, same with macOS going from Xorg to Quartz. Nobody even paid attention because the corporation held all responsibility for the transfer and nobody outside the company even had to flinch.
      This is the problem, these "separate projects" shouldn't be separate in the first place, they should be working together more closely. Instead we still have this hodgepodge mess of poorly integrated components that offer a poorer experience than the all-in-one integrated experiences you get from complete OSes from corporations. You cannot admit to these projects being poorly integrated and in the same breath blame the user for criticizing this model.
      I guess you have not been using windows then, and experience all the pain that came from their display driver model rewrite? Or seen the articles discussing what to do with perfectly fine hardware that is becoming obsolete as it won't work on windows11.

      Windows is the king of planned obsolescence in the name of "moving forward". And apple is pretty high up on that hierarchy too, even getting fined for artificially restricting old hardware so they would not need to support it any longer.

      Fedora and all the shit they get for deprecating X11 from their default configuration is not even in the same ballpark.
