The code quality and documentation suffered over the years.
Other than some bugs and regressions every now and then, Linux is a pretty decent kernel.

insufficient backwards compatibility
no way to distribute software without relaying on retarded distribution creator autists
fragmentation
x11
no gpu drivers
no secure boot support
no TPM support
no proper file system encryption

Everything that could go wrong

Nothing went wrong, it's working fine. You're talking like it lost all its users suddenly or something. We're now at a point where practically everyone is somehow using Linux at some point, even if they haven't changed their home computer's OS to it yet. It's the most used system in the world and keeps on growing.

>>55639562
as an OS, it works, it's not like it's some abhorrent monstrosity under the hood
as something to install on an average idiot's day-to-day machine, the general lack of polish and the fact that it doesn't run Word or whatever is an issue (and I mean actual MS Word -- I already went through an issue a few months ago where LibreOffice opened a .doc with captions, I edited the text, everything looked just fine, and when I saved and reopened the .doc, the captions broke and the layout was screwed up, that was some shit)

distros like Ubuntu solve most of the issues with making it nicer for non-technical people to use Linux, but it doesn't solve the fact that the software people need in their day-to-day doesn't run on Linux
drivers are another issue -- modern Linux gets pretty great basic support for most hardware, but only basic support, and wifi on laptops will probably be an eternal issue unless you go get an Ethernet wifi box or known to be compatible USB wifi adapter because lol fucking Broadcom shit

>>55639675
you can run software built in 2000 on a modern distro usually, I haven't had issues with old-ass binary packages
also, it's pretty much the opposite of extremely unstable (well, Ubuntu is its own story, various random back-end shit throws up errors all the time there on some machines for no apparent reason)

>>55639562
communist idealistic utopian dreaming failed (as always) to take reality into account.

if linux had its shit together microsoft would have been dead and buried a decade ago.

Why the hell would you ever use word? It's shit and useless.

>>55640177
Akari is not for sexual purpose

>>55640287
>Why the hell would you ever use word?
Because other people use Word, and thus files tend to open and save properly when exchanging documents.

It's not like I give a damn about Word itself, but it's already entrenched as the standard word processing software.

only if you count android and chrome...incidentally because a well run company with capital at stake did it properly.

People that use word usually send nothing of value. Moreover even if they do use word you do not need to edit them and opening them is usually trivial.

>but it's already entrenched as the standard word processing software.
By normies. Really, I have yet to see anything of value in word. I have not used word since middle school.

I wish freebsd was as popular as Linux.

Linux is super popular in comparison.

Insistence on maintaining legacy codebase. Also a programming culture that basically forced you to code around the errors and poor design choices of your forebears instead of forcing them to change it (SystemD's developers wisely ignored this norm, much to Linus's chagrin.)
