Linux on the desktop works pretty well in my experience. Desktops have wired networks, mainatream hardware, mouses, stay connected to the same display all the time, headphones are wired, and power management is nice to have. Where it gets annoying is "linux on random laptop". Suddenly perfect power management is a must, there's an expectation of sleep instead of shutting down, networks are wireless, headphones snd keyboards and mice are bluetooth, displays change all the time, you have a touchpad to contend with, etc -- all of this is very driver dependent and manufacturers don't care about linux at all. It's not that linux haven't gotten better - it had, but the problem also got a lot more difficult.
