I've used Linux since back when there was no "Enterprise" in Red Hat Linux :-).
The driver situation has massively improved, absolutely. The second time I installed Linux (on a brand new computer) was scariest -- S-ATA was super cool and new and my S-ATA controller wasn't supported, so I had to build a patched kernel on my old machine and boot with it...
But higher-up, I don't think we've progressed significantly past where we were in 2010. Sound still breaks (and ironically enough, it had just started breaking, with Alsa finally getting proper soft mixing and hotplug support via udev), KDE and GTK applications can no longer get uniform themes, display managers still get laughable bugs...
