I agree with you about the Linux desktop. I was using KDE 3.5 at the time and KDE 4 was so completely broken. I tried to stay on KDE 3.5 but as distros kept updating things keeping it working became difficult. Around the same time various distributions where moving to Xrandr which didn't support multiscreen in the beginning but it did manage to break Xinerama also. They also started doing these new super simple generated Xorg.conf files which where invariably wrong for my system. I would run an update and sometimes multi monitors would stop working or the GUI would break or sound would break etc etc etc. It was just too much at the time. Later I got into machine learning and EVERY error in CUDA for a while when using stuff like Tensorflow would crash the driver and that would then take the entire GUI out with it. Do you know how hard it is to debug and figure out what is wrong with some code when an error causes your entire GUI to restart also and all the programs to close? At some point I ended up switching to Windows because I just could not take those issues anymore. What I found is that on Windows I did manage to crash the cuda driver a few times but windows would tell me the video driver had failed and restarted it and everything kept running except the machine learning code which had died. Over time windows got more reliable and secure and at this point today with Windows 11 I can WSL, WSL2 windows Terminal and I can run Linux GUI apps with hardware acceleration and GPGPU support inside WSL2. I love using Linux on servers and I use it on servers every single day but I just can't go back to it on the desktop.
