Oh it did become better.

I've been using linux for 15 years. It's better in every way.

My mother has been using Ubuntu for 7 years now. It would have been impossible in the early 2000.

It is better. It is productive. It is even a good experience. I'm no a masochist, I buy and use proprietary software. I use Linux because I want to.

I'm not just not blind to it's many shortcommins.

Last week I used Windows with a client. I had to disable Windows update because it was eating all the Ram. Some people are literally buying a new mac because the mechanical keyboard is unusable on some models.

There are systems you complain about. And systems nobody use.

That's true, web standard made OS less critical for an average user, and time let some other native apps improve and polish (things like krita and blender comes to mind)
