For someone these are problems and for someone the problems are completely different. For example, I don't consider issues with hardware drivers Linux's problem. Users should not buy random hardware and expect it to work in Linux. Instead there should be an official list of recommended hardware and users should buy only it. If there is no NVIDIA on the list then you should not buy NVIDIA's card. Or I don't notice any problem with multiple monitor support because I don't have them. But there are some real problems, for example: - no API for drivers that would allow reusing drivers in other OSes or maybe run them in the userspace. - no support for running Windows drivers that exist for almost any hardware - no sane way to install and run (third-party) software. Many programs require you to run scripts as a root, they silently add their keys, add their servers to package manager's source list (basically, they install a backdoor that gives them full control over your system). - no sane way to run software without giving it too much privileges. If you run a program, it has complete access to your home directory, cookies, browsing history, hardware serial numbers, scanning WiFi (which can be used for geolocation).
