    I don’t think something needs to be identical to Windows to be a good replacement for it.

    I said drop in replacement

    Wider application support would be a start.

    No organization is willing to pay companies to support Linux

    Some distributions and parts of modern Linux systems can be unnecessarily complex or downright esoteric. Some features like HDR have very poor support, and are difficult to enable/setup where they are supported.

    That’s because organizations like the Linux foundation primarily serve enterprise and server customers, they only need a good enough UI so that’s what desktop users get. Nobody is paying money for Linux and few people donate.

    It’s also difficult for developers to publish to Linux because of the wide variety of different Linux systems. Flatpaks and snaps help with this obviously but have divisive in the Linux community for one reason or another.

    That’s because the current system allows distribution maintainers to decide if they want their distro to be bleeding edge or stable.

    TLDR: Desktop Linux users get the scraps of enterprise and server Linux
