>In many cases the things he claims are past linux behavior remains the same today. Perhaps he hasn't used Linux in recent years? I'm not sure what hardware you're using. On my end Linux so stable I haven't had a crash in years. Though, I have had some Firefox updates not render sites correctly. That and the default desktop behavior isn't ideal. Setting Force Full Composition Pipeline makes everything run as smooth as butter, similar to how OSX feels. It really should be the default behavior. All in all, Linux is far more stable and usable as a desktop today.

In the end everyone's opinions on these things are going to be informed by their individual experiences. Linux is generally going to lag behind windows in hardware support since most hardware is designed, tested, and supported with Windows. I installed Mint on my father's computer and it has been rock solid for him. I tend to find ways to break installations, but that's certainly not linux's fault. That said, it's still very much a mixed bag for me.
