damn this video might as well be a 6d chess power move to completely btfo linus tech tips and his retarded self destructing desktop without any hope of recovery. my nigga pewdz got a slammin setup, respect the amount of research he put into it. anyone asking for a reason to quit windows can just watch this video because he summed it all up.
Yes. With the passage of time, Linux gets better. Always. No negative changes can stick. If you don't like Wayland, you can still use X11. If you don't like systemd, don't use it. You can always get the best Linux available.
And every time people bounce back is because their particular issue with Linux is not what has improved through that time. Same applies to Wayland, or any other package where the maintainers cannot get their shit together.

I've never used Void, but have quite a bit of Slackware and Gentoo use, both are amazing for this. They never assume use cases but have very different ways of managing that (Slackware a ton of software is installed by default to cater to all use cases, Gentoo its up to you to install what you need), Slackware is an ultra stable distro that will never change or break without you doing something, Gentoo is a bit more unstable but only breaks during large updates in my experience.
I hope Slackware 16 adds mpv to the preinstalled software list, because its very good. It would also have the unintended side effect of making most python programs like 50% less of a pain in the ass to install, because one of mpvs dependencies is libplacebo which has a whole bunch of python libraries as dependencies (I had to draw a flowchart) and those are often in the dependency list for other python programs too. It means Slackware would come with yt-dlp preinstalled as well, which is neat.
Good news is that mpv is in Current because phonon-gstreamer is dead and they really don't want to package vlc for some reason, so phonon-mpv is used. The next stable release will have it, although when 15.1 releases no one knows.
mpv is awesome. VLC is good in its own right, but mpv has never given me any issues.
One can only dream. IMO it would be a great service to any FOSS supporting Linux user to include qBitTorrent or transmission as preinstalled software. I think MX comes with transmission but I could be misremembering. I would say a default VPN would be good too, less for security and more for dodging location restrictions, but that would imply partnering with some VPN provider and that's a very slippery slope to navigate.
I have seen a few package qBittorrent (mostly the KDE focused distros). I think Linux Mint ships Transmission by default but its been a few years since I've used it.
Handling a preinstalled VPN the way Slackware does it would be best. Wireguard comes preinstalled but you have to find your own servers to connect it to, either by rolling your own or using Mullvad's. Having torsocks preinstalled would be rad too.
IDK man, now that I have access to decent LLMs I'm 'coding' things I want the computer to do successfully and on a whim. I'm not a programmer. I'm barely even a script-kiddie. But, I don't have to learn shit to get rid of these little qualms now.
Are you really in here just to complain constantly?
Incorrect image since not a single person uses Wayland on its own, and instead uses XWayland too, so you have both an X server and Wayland compositor running at the same time:
