You do realise you can’t just throw more features at the kernel right?

Kernel maintainers are burning out. Wouldn't call that a feature, would you?

Linux doesn't support tons of hardware - especially mobile. Linux doesn't have job openings for devs from anywhere on the planet, nor are there any open positions for trainees or juniors.

Imagine if you could begin your career (not hobby) working on linux. The expertise in Linux would be much greater.

Imagine if the Linux Foundation did lobbying to get Linux as a default on hardware. People would grow up using Linux instead of first Windows or Mac before switching to Linux.

There is a lot more than just kernel work and 3rd party projects that happen to run on linux.
