Depends on how you look at it. I see that even after so long, it's still not 'comparable' with any of the commercial OSs from a UX perspective. I come back to try Linux every 3-4 years or so, and every time I face so 'basic' problems that I'm almost immediately turned off by it. Displays not working on cards, basic GUI not working, strange connectivity problems, hardware compatibility problems, and then I have to turn the 'geek mode' on, just to solve these problems which wouldn't have occurred on any other OS and I'd be actually working on the things that matter to me. Within no time, you're found manually fiddling with files like xorg.conf in the black terminal. The worst problem is, almost always someone would come up and reply with one standard answer : "Oh, that's because you're using distro <x>. Had you used distro <y>, this problem would never occur!". More than two decades, and Linux hasn't got the basic things right, and still remains a Nerd only OS (and it's coming from a nerd).
