I think this whole meme died as soon as Steam/Proton started being okay. None of the other criticisms were ever in good faith. Linux has been great for everything else for a very long time. Some people do have legitimate criticisms but they are mostly nitpicking and making mountains out of molehills. When gaming becomes great on Linux it's game over for the entire industry of these arguments.

Pretty sure meme died, because desktop is dying, due to hardware slowing down and mobile boom. Linux has the problem of no commercially successful distro, wasted duplication of effort (which DE, which sound manager, which compositor) and no backwards compatibility (user facing software). Add onto that reliance on CLI, and lagging behind Windows features for 10+ years, and in-kernel nature of drivers and you have a recipe for lagging.
