You just made three subjective claims. I don't see Linux's market share growing by large numbers. Apple updates macOS every year. Which features do you want? I haven't used Windows in a while but Microsoft seems to be making faster progress in updating Windows, browser, etc.

I hear complaints from MacOS users about the bit rot all the time. Where is OpenGL 4.5 for instance? And not just graphics. Many simply feel it's completely stagnated, because Apple are too busy with their mobile delirium, and don't care about desktop anymore.

- shmerl 10y agoAbsolute numbers are large. I'm more interested in the trend here. Still, there should be more push for Linux on the desktop. This sick situation exited for way too long.
- ihattendorf 10y agoThat won't happen until desktop Linux is usable by non-tech people, and they have easy access to it (pre-installed, simple install, etc.). There's been a lot of progress, however there are still plenty of issues. Not to mention application support.
- shmerl 10y agoDesktop Linux has been usable already long enough. That's not what's slowing down its adoption. Having access to it pre-installed which you mentioned too is however the issue.
