I completely agree with the author here. Linux is vastly unattractive to me as a desktop environment pretty much for this reason; everything is customizable to the nth degree, which cool whatever, but a lot of it simply doesn't work. The audio server examples are a great example, and probably the worst offenders; sound management on just about any OS is terrible (MacOS does it best, currently) but Linux is the worst. I couldn't even build JACK1 or 2 from source a couple of years ago and the development efforts were mostly dead. And don't get me started on graphical environments. I love Linux, I love what it's all about, but I don't think I'll ever install another desktop environment again. I use WSL and while I despise everything about Windows, at least it works. Consequently, this whole area of frustration is what got me into OSDev to begin with...
