I mean today compared to 10 years ago it is in a far better spot. But the FOSS nature of everything still makes it difficult to fix every nit picking gui bug. Right now there is an issue I've encountered with Manjaro where it just doesn't register a left click for some reason. No idea why but I need to restart to fix it if it happens. That is enough for any end user to write it off completely.


It's not like Windows is perfect though. For example my mum's PC stopped printing with last month's Windows update then started again with the next update.


It's definitely not. I really do wonder what would happen if Microsoft wasn't able to enforce OEM machines to have Windows or basically give the OS away for free. I think Linux would be a more than comparable OS today.
