Linux ≠ Linux Desktop

This is a huge problem in the community and the decentralized nature. Like, I dont even know what projects I all use, like curl, ffmpeg, bubblewrap, flatpak, systemd, all these things and again, these are well known projects.

This is a huge funding problem as only GUI apps can ask for funding. Corporations often dont fund small projects, but often just the kernel and Core apps.

Not shaming teenage you of course :D

Linux ≠ Linux Desktop

I'm aware, I was just explaining my experience back in 2007. It was like moving to a new country where things work differently and the attitude needed was very different from what I am used to.
