Linux has gotten much better. I say this as someone who booted and ran some software on desktop fedora machine from 3 years ago this year (long story, but that machine has working custom software, not rewriting this year...). Despite all the complaints, Desktop linux still remarkably better than it was just 3 years ago. That machine was almost unusable. Setting up the network on that machine was a couple hour ordeal. All the little fiddly parts that kinda work most of the time don't make for a great desktop experience. The server experience is exceptional however (I spent enough time on Solaris and HPUX to not miss those two at all)
