A major problem with the more user facing layers of Linux is that the developers involved are using those few loudmouths as an excuse to dismiss all feedback from non-devs.
End result is that they are operating inside an echo chamber of sorts, thinking they just need for sharpen the UX more to make "year of desktop Linux" happen while alienating existing desktop Linux users.
Damn it, Windows is not the leading OS because it has a sharp UX. Microsoft, besides their questionable behavior with OEMs and bundling, leaned over backwards to make sure Windows offered a stable usage environment.
Even with Windows 10 can you run a binary from the early days of Win32, as long as you use a 32-bit install. The reason it is not working on 64-bit is because the CPU modes needed are mutually exclusive.
