Actually I deeply envy windows users. They can enter a computer store and basically choose any hardware with the certainty that it will very likely work on their computer; then can sign any on-line service with the same certainty, they can use almost any recently released professional software with the same certainty...

Linux on the desktop is MUCH better now, it is improving but still no there yet. And I've been saying this very same phrase for decades now.

I don't care about a significant fraction of the desktop, but I'd love to enter a computer store and choose a hardware without severely limiting my choices.
