I actually agree with that. Wine was really shaky 20 years ago and now the Steam Deck works wonderfully. Can't deny the progress there. I was mostly referring to a "desktop experience" though. All windows look different, all buttons are placed in different places, applications feel not integrated, proprietary drivers have the competitive advantage on mainstream desktop OSes, any modern work tools are either unsupported (Excel) or barely supported (like online call software supporting a "web version" for Linux but having native clients for the rest), etc. We can blame, I dunno, "Zoom" to pick an example, but as a company what they actually should aim to build for? The experience is very different between a distro and another, with no consistency and no clear leader. And I'm not picky, I loved KDE 3 which was terribly ugly but incredibly useful. But as soon as my work stopped being purely "basement programmer" and I was forced a KDE 4 upgrade, it was a big nope, and I don't see a real lot of improvement from there 20 years after.
