Eh, Linux can still be a crap shoot depending on what you are trying to do. differences in distros are still somewhat vast.
Do I target Wayland or X11? Do I target OpenGL or Vulkan, Deb or RPM, or one of the many App in a box (Snap, AppImage, Docker, Etc)
Don't get me wrong, its gotten better over the years, but still not at a streamlined experience as one would expect.
Don't get me started on the X11/Wayland issue, They really needed a reference composer, instead we have like what? 5? all varying their API levels they support for screen capture,
I feel bad for applications that have to do that.

Sure, but what system is free of such a generic and vague criticism? >differences in distros are still somewhat vast. Yes, and that’s a very positive point, isn’t it? >Do I target Wayland or X11? Do I target OpenGL or Vulkan, Deb or RPM, or one of the many App in a box (Snap, AppImage, Docker, Etc) That’s something the actual circumstances should mostly respond to. Is that a green field pet project? Do whatever seems most pleasing! Is that a project for some company? Don’t they already have some existing constraints?
