Major Linux Problems or Why Linux is not (yet) Ready for the Desktop, 2012 edition

Every operating system has its problems.  Some things work better than in others, some do worse.  Here is an interesting (and very up-to-date) overview of the problems in the Linux space.  The good thing about it is that it’s not just bashing Linux over Windows or Mac and it doesn’tjust wine about minor things here and there.  There are issues all over, some are being worked on, and some are not, for a variety of reasons.  But just knowning these issues is already a good start in fixing them.
