If you're still using X11 manual configs than what do you expect.. > I have to go from multi-screen configuration to configuration because of my job.

For BT, Wifi, graphic cards and printers at least, I attest that I most of the time have less features and/or stability using Libre drivers. > Does it work well enough for day to day use? Certainly.

But suspend works perfectly most of the time. > Most the time is not enough for sometime like suspend. The whole idea is that you _trust_ the computer to restore you work space the way it used to be. If you can't, if sometime it may not boot, or disable the network card (common problem), then it failed. > Can you imagine if VSCode would restore your file tabs, but only, most of the time? > In fact, one of the first thing I do on a fresh install is to go the the "close lid" settings, and disable suspend, because I'm afraid to lose state by mistake. > > "X.org is largely outdated" - duh... the whole list on this topic is dated issues resolved by WM. > X is largely outdated.

But desktop apps, no. > It IS harder to dev a desktop app for linux, because you have to support a HUGE diversity of configurations: distros, versions, desktop managers. Want to add a system tray icon ? Well, are you targetting Gnome 2, Gnome shell or Unity? Want to make a package ? rpm, deb, snap, flatpack or appimage? Want to use QT4? Not installable from the official repos in the last Ubuntu LTS. Have you ever tried teaching someone how to set up a dev environment on windows? The things you need to install is a huge PITA, especially knowing what to install. Here's a challenge for you, try to compile a cython extension using clang. In Linux I just set CC=clang. > Meanwhile, apps that worked in Windows XP often still works on Windows 10. Except when they don't which is all to common (let's not even talk about OSX).
