Nah. I, for one, am fed up with feeling as a third-class citizen every single day.
I recently moved back to Windows after using Linux exclusively for five years. My opinion will probably prove unpopular here, but here goes: I have seen close to zero progress in making Linux a better desktop operating system in all this time, while MS has been doing solid work in making Windows a more development friendly environment.
I get this feeling that the community keeps reinventing the wheel every few years instead of making existing things more polished.
Linux is improving so fast it's really hard to keep up with it, but I'd say 99% of this progress is being made in server and embedded contexts. Billions are being poured into this area, while desktop is being pushed forward by like two guys working in their spare time.
I'll most likely wipe Linux from dual-boot after WSL 2 gets its first stable release.

- frosted-flakes 7y agoThere's a lot of value in sane defaults, and in learning to accept them. Having to tinker and adjust everything quickly becomes a chore.
