In this regularly updated article, which is without doubt the most
comprehensive list of Linux distributions' problems on the entire Internet,
we only discuss their main problems and deficiencies (which may be the
reason why some people say Linux distros are not ready for the desktop)
while everyone should keep in mind that there are areas where Linux has
excelled other OSes: excellent package management, multiple platforms and
architectures support out of the box, usually excellent stability, no
widely circulating viruses or malware, complete system reinstallation is
almost never required, besides Linux is extremely customizable, easily
scripted and it's free as a beer.

*Again, let me reiterate it, this article is primarily about Linux
distributions, however many issues listed below affect the Linux kernel as
well.*
