Linux on desktop sucks because no one is maintaining it. Yes there are freelancers and volunteers but they can take it only this far.
Linux works on the servers because lots of companies don't wanna be locked into MS offerings and pay for building all their ecosystem around Linux by their business profit.
Such business doesn't exist for desktop Linux and that's the only way to make it happen. It's also a tough job. See Android whose development has been paid for over the years still gets forked and fragmented due to the fact that apparently Linux doesn't maintain a consistent HAL (perhaps so they can refactor easily idk).
So this Linux desktop dream just won't come true when there's no stable business paying for the development.
