The biggest improvements have been software and hardware related.
Better hardware support, and more supported software.  I can run Zoom,
Signal, Discord, Doom 2016 on Linux now.  Back when I started, I would
have to sometimes dual boot into Windows.  Now I don't need windows.  We
can thank Valve and software vendors who are relasing Linux binaries and
the Linux kernel team.  They made Linux a viable OS.  That and Pipewire,
etc.  Improvements are real.

Standardisation won't happen, not without a single authoritative Linux
OS.  Choice is not necessarily freedom.

I’ve got news for you: all those hundreds of Linux distros can exist and 
offer a wide range of choice while continuing tto interoperate as part of 
a common ecosystem precisely because they are built on a common OS kernel.

Compare the BSD situation, with only a fraction of the number of variants, 
yet they are far more fragmented than the Linux situation is, without 
offering anywhere near corresponding variety.

   For the record, I don't rec Ubuntu for anyone. It's
   gone Too Weird - less a help than Just Another Trap.

   Vanilla Deb is better - though they SEEM to have hired
   a bunch of Canonical rejects of late.

   BEST = 'MX'. Not too big, not too small, useful
   goodies included.

   The Arch derivs ain't bad - but very 'different' and
   'annoying' in some ways. Don't hate OpenSUSE, but
   it's so FAT.

   Just tried a few BSD derivs - and NOT with great
   success. A lot of "can't get there from here" issues.
   MAYbe the next-level distros ???

   In any case, I understand that the common IDEA is
   to wean people off M$ ... and that means a very
   similar GUI experience. Many opt for KDE for that
   reason even though it's over-bloated. Gimme LXDE
   preferably .......

   Do NOT expect too many M$/Apple addicts to switch to
   Linux/BSD. Perhaps the smarter 10%. This IS a useful
   percentage and audience however. For kiddies going
   into 'IT', those with Linux/BSD exposure WILL do
   a LOT better. Servers SHOULD be Linux/BSD, not M$.

   Alas the 'AI' influence is unknown right now - may
   be that future 'IT' won't really have to know ANY
   OS or major programming langs ... just skill in
   describing needs to the 'AI'. Next decade IS gonna
   be very DIFFERENT. Kind of a loss for humans and
   human sensibilities alas .......

   Hey, I've tried most everything over the past few
   years ... including Solaris/OpenIndiana (NOT that
   bad) and Plan-9 (not REALLY meant for single boxes).
   Note that Plan-9 has now been ported to the big
   black IBM mainframe boxes. I'd love to see a modern
   VMS - an OS well ahead of its time - loved it back
   in the old days - but money issues mean it's not
   gonna happen (such a waste !).

You look confused. Choosing a distro is not the same thing as choosing a
WM/DE. Some distro provide a default WM/DE, but it doesn't mean that one
is stuck with the DE/WM default on that distro.

And if this is confusing, that's a reason to explain choice and
introduce people to the concept that things can be done in more than one
way and that they usually have several approaches available on
Linux-based systems. Not a reason to ditch choice or hide it.

(Although, back a few years ago, I could even argue that the DE itself
might try to provide a lot of choices. KDE3 was *quite* customizable, at
least to some extent.)

I never tell anyone which WM/DE use. I can tell which one I'm using, but
I never expect a new Linux user to discover Linux with a Tilling Window
manager. When I install Linux on someone's computer, I always install
three or four and explain how to switch between them. Then, the new user
can:
- Choose which one to prefer.
- Discover that they can be adapted, because when one like something in
  a DE/WM not available in the preferred one, maybe the preferred one
  can be configured to provide this possibility.
- Discover that there are more than just three or four possibilities and
  look for others which can be better.
- Discover that the WE/DE is not the only thing on a computer that can
  be changed.
- Discover what it mean to adapt one's computer oneself instead of
  adapting oneself to one's computer.

Those that I know personally who were interested, did specifically
mention freedom, and moving away from corporate control and politics.
Usability is an issue, but they should understand what they are getting
into.

You see, they just assumed that Linux was free of politics, and
opinionated vendors, but that isn't necessarily the case.

Well certainly if you visit c.o.l.a

But really I have no dog in this fight. What I run works for me and I 
know it fairly well.
I am not interested in 'Linux, the technical adventure'

I want 'Linux, the stable secure free desktop OS' these days.

As convincing that argument is for some of us, Linux won't gain
widespread acceptance because J. Random Luser doesn't really
care about freedom.  It's enough that the screens are shiny.

I certainly didn't move to linux for any ideological freedom.

I moved because it worked better than Windows and cost less.
That balance shifted around WinXP time.

I'd been using Unix and Linux on servers for years before that.

Ironically, it's XP that I run under VirtualBox for times that
I need it.  This includes software development; in addition to
Linux, my stuff runs under - or should I say despite - Windows,
and I do back-end stuff so I don't need the eye candy extensions.
IMHO Windows' usability peaked somewhere between 2000 and XP and
has been going downhill ever since.

   I have a Win2k, and I think XP VMs somewhere. However
   I haven't run either for a LONG time.

   Actually have VMs of most everything from CP/M-86
   thru Win 1.1 and such somewhere. Win 1.1 was just
   TERRIBLE - better stuff for Commodores. My old
   boss BOUGHT a copy. DO have a BYTE Mag REVIEW of
   Win 1.1, paper mag ... I'm keeping that !

   DO sometimes run the old DOS multi-pass compilers
   for 'C' and Pascal, just for fun. There are one or
   two sites where you can download all that stuff.

   Anyway, IF I needed Win these days, I'd run it
   as a VM, not a real install. XP seems to cover
   99% of possible needs, so that's about a far as
   you need to go. After that ....... oh, the
   horror ..........

Thats not really an issue though.  If people are OK with Windows, don't
really desire freedom, then that doesn't impact me greatly, as long as
I've got viable options and can continue to use the systems of my
choosing.

Linux won't gain, and I think shouldn't gain, widespread acceptence.  We
should be OK with that.

The goal isn't biggest market share, the goal is, I think, to ensure
that people who want to follow a path of freedom and empowerment, have
the option to do so.

Philosophically speaking, enforcing freedom is not freedom.
Many people are quite happy to live in a constrained world, In fact they 
feel safer that way. Nothing is their problem, as long as they 'stick to 
the rules'.

All freedom exists because of enforcement.  We are naturally free.  In
order to retain freedom, we limit the actions of others.  Enforcement is
a precondition to freedom.

In the context of freedom and free software, its not just freedom, but
agency.  Freedom comes from not having anyone infringe upon your ability
to modify, share and use the software, but you have increased agency as
well through meaningful choices in shaping your computing environment
(ie, choice of toolkits, GUI, ability to configure, etc).

For me personally, I enjoy the increased agency moreso than the freedom
the GPL gives.

  Be careful ... that 'weight' of M$ can CRUSH all else.

   Don't think it will be, can, SHOULD, be a big thing
   for the general consumer market. It's kind of a niche
   product - a very IMPORTANT niche however.

   Spend megabucks on one of those big black IBM cluster
   mainframes - you will PROBABLY want to have it running
   the IBM/RHEL Linux.

   Things "have their place". Alas there's a POLITIC to
   that as well. The "most popular" tend to COMPLETELY
   destroy all competition. Doesn't matter if it's good/
   better - for $$$ it MUST die.

   Bear that in mind.
