Linux is missing so many opportunities....

@Cavehomme_

Sound s like basically you think 'Linux should become a corporate product, just like MS.

All the issues you have mentioned (apart from the vast choice in desktops, distros etc) are down to Manufacturers of hardware not having provided drivers (or just shit BETA ones) for their hardware, be it GPUs, Network cards, Scanners.

They often refuse or are difficult or reticent to cooperate with projects like Nouveau, or SANE to help 'Linux software engineers write their own native drivers to run their hardware.

At this point they are actively participating in locking users into the Microsoft ecosystem by continuing with this short-sighted limited outlook.
