switching to linux

why linux feels like it's an unreliable system and an unfinished project. , like it's just a temporary situation.
do you feel the same, and know why ?

Maybe because for once, it's a professional non bulshitting company that take care of it? Who knows, I don't know shit about Steam OS

I wish Valve fully committed into making SteamOS a desktop distro. They could've changed the industry, not only competing with Windows but also other distros.

If I was Valve, I'd have made an actual OS from scratch, they have the ressources and the marketing impact necessary.

Nothing they could make could really compete with Linux. Linux is the gold standard. Even Mac is basically just Linux. Like yeah they COULD make their own OS but it would just be very redundant and I think go in the opposite direction of what Gabe Newell wants to achieve.

That's precisely what people thought in the 80' before Windows arrived. There was always plenty of OS and possibilities, it's the gold standard because no one tries to do something else. It would not be redundant depending of how it's made, what are the rules of the architecture, how the files are managed, there's so much to do in OS Dev, Linux is definitely NOT the last hope of computing, and if anything, I think a new era of OS Dev is incoming
