Just curious, do you believe there's an OS out there right now without this thousand cuts problem?

- NavinF 5y agoOh yes, 4 of them. Windows, macos, android, and ios only have a handful of cuts in my experience. I'm not saying that's entirely linux's fault or anything. It's just that desktop linux has a market share of around 1% (depending on your source) and even that's fragmented across several distros. Hardly anyone tests their software or hardware on linux, let alone the distro you happen to use. Some of the problems I listed used to be an issue on other OSs. For example Android used to have ridiculous audio latency on the order of 400ms, but a few years ago Google got their shit together and fixed that: https://source.android.com/devices/audio/latency/measurements#examples https://source.android.com/devices/audio/latency/measurement... The same can't be said for desktop linux. I don't think any of the distros even have a device farm for end-to-end latency measurements. The other 4 OSs have extensive testing and the devs care about user metrics.
