Linux works about as well on the desktop as it did in 2003 - if you know what you're doing, you can make it work, and if not, you can still run a browser but most things won't work for you.

Linux is better than Windows on the desktop because Windows got worse, not because Linux got better.

Unless you mean for gaming. That was Valve's exit strategy from Windows.

I’m relatively new to Linux desktop and this hasn’t been my experience at all. What do you think doesn’t work?

If that is truly what you think, then you clearly haven't used a Linux desktop distro since then because that absolutely incorrect.
