From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Part of that problem is developers are drawn to Shiny too. So things people may want, start working in a random distro first. Then when you are comparing these features people want to Windows, it's often a catch up game.
But I think the framing the whole thing even to just the comparing the lagging features of a stable and usable distro to well... Windows is still a pretty good light.
Well have to accept that "Linux can't X" and keep all the (um actually) caveats hush until it just works. Then hopefully with enough traction and resources that time gap will shorten.
