I don't know about kernel, but from my experience I'm generally struggle with philosophy "From nerds, to nerds." Most problems require sudo this and sudo that which led to multiple new problems and overall it is not user friendly. It gets better with development and also with user experience, but it is damn hard to get into linux as noob. Also imho default values for settings are often not wisely chosen. As professional artist I still cannot use linux for work unfortunately (no 10bit support, no professional SW compatibility, GPU drivers mess, crazy difficult settings of VM dGPU passtrough, etc.).
