I 100% agree, but it's a catch 22. No one develops for Linux because it doesn't have a market share, and it doesn't have a market share because no one develops for it.
Exactly! But I really, really hope that the growing share in India and other places starts to catalyze commercial development.
Immutable packages like flatpak (or whatever is your format of choice) makes the software side way, way easier. It'll take a bit more convincing to get HW makers to dive in though.
It's no joke making supported software let alone HW for multiple flavours sites of kernel, architecture.
It's a lot better than 25 years ago when I used as a daily driver, but we're just not quite there yet. I keep trying!
