So we all know that the Linux desktop is lacking in a few ways, and we all know there are a few reasons for that, but I really do think the experience is getting better. Having more people use it and more development has been great. Valve, System76, and a few others have been pouring resources into making the experience better, and it's working. As much as people aren't going to like me saying this, Electron has been good for the Linux desktop. I'm with everyone that Electron applications can be pretty bloated, but I'd imagine that I'd get late and/or sub-par access to plenty of programs if they weren't written in Electron. The fact that discord is 95% as good as Windows on Linux, despite having a tiny fraction of users is great. If it was written in GTK, I'd imagine that would be a good bit lower. The fact we have multiple DEs that are of relatively similar popularity is great for choice, but affects development. MacOS and Windows have the advantage of the complete control over GUIs, while Linux has quite a few layers with different options at each layer. Not saying it's bad, but it explains slower development (as well as being FOSS without MS or Apple level of cash behind them). Linux isn't for everyone, but god damn is the Linux desktop getting better. I won't indulge on the year of the Linux desktop meme, because it might be a while, but I'm happy at the current momentum.
