This could be higher but I see Linux community of people who are just competing who have bigger dick. The platform could have easily beat Microsoft but that community will never reach anywhere with Linux, they haven't n even try to make it more easy to use

Exactly, I was using Linux some 10 years ago, got away from it and have now gone back with Mint. There have been minimal improvements in the easy of use. They have the basics down but anything even slightly custom and your in for a world of hurt if you don't know what your doing.

There are still some major misses too like not having default support for Realtek Audio chips. Realtek is one of the most used onboard audio chips out there. I don't get why this was overlooked.

That's a distribution for beginners (which is a word professionals use to refer to ignorant people).

There is default support.

I don't get why this was overlooked.

It wasn't by them, since the support is literally in the kernel. As to why it was overlooked by you, I can only guess. So, perhaps you might want to understand your hardware first and only then complain on the internet exposing your ignorance.

There is absolutely no reason not to use Linux for any application. I thought perhaps "not being able to run PhotoShop" was still a "valid reason" (it never has been), but apparently that works great too these days.
