TLDR Linux sucks because people do not care much about OS anymore [0], default setup does not run old games, there is no Steve Jobs like dictator, it is sponsored.

From my perspective these are reason Linux rocks

1. Yay! With web I do not care as much about software, I am free to use Linux.

2. Yay! Even for running old apps on Linux there is solution.

3. Yay! I am not a serf, I can move to other distros. And there are a lot of them.

4. Yay! It would be impossible to have such hardware support without sponsors and hired developers. You've done a great job, thank you.

There are a lot of Linux users - some hate Microsoft with passion, some curse Poettering, some crave world domination - you've got a place too!

There is so much casual media attention now:

* Linux Gaming FINALLY Doesn't SUCK! Sep 22, 2018 (2 000 000 views) [1]

* Microsoft Should be VERY Afraid - Noob's Guide to Linux Gaming, Apr 9, 2019 (2 000 000 views) [2]

Steam games just work thanks to https://www.protondb.com/ (wine basically).

I was amazed that MX Linux intro has 120 000 views [3]

And finally, there was one technical question. Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) is developers setup - evergreen /include, /lib. I can recompile all installed packages. I've compiled latest Firefox on Linux. I've compiled Firefox on Windows, it is quite different experience. I've compiled Firefox 3.6 on Linux a month ago, that's different experience too - patching source, requires old pango version. This setup suits me.

Would it be interesting to have make dependencies as they were in Firefox 3.6 days? Absolutely. Does it drug Linux back? No, this case is minor. Same with old binaries. Anyone who cares enough can find or create such distro.

This. Web and electron apps is the greatest thing that happened to "linux desktop". I know that they sucks and are slow, but without it I would not be able to use linux for work.

^ very much agree; plus, given that the electron API is very straightforward: the electron devs can fix the underlying memory and speed issues in the underlying code without needing to demand much change from app builders
