> You really need at minimum a stable driver ecosystem with stable driver ABIs but Linus refuses to have that. I understand his reasoning and the benefits but one must ask, has it succeeded in producing a viable operating system that is robust and that works and can support various devices including proper graphics? Is this really the best strategy? No, it clearly doesn't need a stable driver ABI. Yes, it works very well. Even nvidia works these days. > Taking a hobbyist weekend project and turning it into a PRODUCT means spending long boring nights fixing those sharp edges and fixing bugs and looking for issues etc. This is work that very few people do in the open source world (due to lack of skills or motivation or whatever), but without this grind the product isn't a product yet but just an alpha demo. You... understand that Linux hasn't been a "hobbyist weekend project" for like 30 years, right? It's mostly developed by big companies and has been for a long time.
