Idk Linux on desktop has regressed lately: OOM crashes/OOM killer kicking in (which maybe wasn't so great an idea to begin with), gnome3, snaps and other crap (that doesn't work well IME) littering mount points and other places with info used for internal purposes, systemd creating complexity for it's own sake (or rather monopolizing know-how at RedHat), wayland, bash/getline with vi editing mode broken more than it used to be ...
All the while I'm not doing things differently from a decade or two ago ): While Docker is working well for me, I'm not sure last decade's push towards containers and dockerizing everything is actual progress. Or rather, declaring defeat in front of self-inflicted problems with shared libs (which btw seems also to a large degree a problem with glibc's insistence on shared libs), language/platform ecosystems, and a false separation of concerns story mixing permission and lib versioning issues.
