And this attitude is exactly why Linux is still 20 years behind everything else. Red Hat can't be Linux because Linux doesn't exist.
Every install is different. There's no platform to target. No API levels or anything like that. The Linux idea of compatibility is "You can make it work, with a hammer, if you spend a half hour".
I fully believe that it would be easier to add the missing bits to Android, to make it able to replace "Real Linux" even on servers, than to get Linux to a state that was fully ready for the Year of the Linux Desktop.
I used to think it was being held back by big tech or something.... but as time goes on, I realize it's more about the fact that Steam doesn't work on my laptop and I will probably have to spend 20 minutes fixing it, and this is on Mint.
