Is Linux dead or awful

The market share of Linux desktops is significantly lower compared to Windows and macOS, which dominate the desktop market. Some technologists have long predicted the downfall of Linux. However, developers, system administrators, and enthusiasts continue to use Linux due to its flexibility, customization options, security features, and the availability of free and open-source software.
Microsoft is still the sultan of OS, their Windows Mobile platform failed to generate interest compared to the pioneering iPhone and Android smartphones, resulting in a lackluster ecosystem with minimal interest. In contrast, Linux is gaining ground in both the mobile and server markets.
Although Linux offers many benefits, such as flexibility, security, and open-source nature, it can be challenging for some users. Different Linux distributions have user interfaces that differ from Windows or macOS, which can be unfamiliar. Software compatibility may require workarounds, and the command-line interface can be daunting for users accustomed to graphical user interfaces. Additionally, while customization is a strength of Linux, it can be overwhelming for new users.
Despite these challenges, the large and active Linux community provides support and documentation. However, finding the right resources and solutions for specific issues can be challenging for beginners. Nonetheless, with the right customization, Linux can be a superior tool if you have nerves, it offers increased privacy, a seamless desktop interface, and enhanced control. The anti-Linux cult has loyal disciples but to be fair all OS's have faults until it fits your use case.
