If you could give 10 years of development time to up to 10 software projects, which would you choose? (programming.dev)

You can choose up to 10 software projects.
Each project receives 10 years of development time as if all the programmers worked continuously for that duration, following their current working methods.
After choosing these 10 (or less) projects, everything else remains unchanged in the world, as if time has been frozen for 10 years.

Which projects do you choose?

Yup, anytime I ever bring up issues like this to Linux users "Oh yeah, that's never happened to me" and "You must have done something REALLY messed up!" is the typical response. Whereas if I ask Windows or Mac users who used Linux "Yeah, that's Linux for you, every time I've tried it." It's silly to even try to bring it up at this point because I know the canned responses of "well it works for me." which is why you still use Linux and most people don't. You just have the exact setup that Linux caters to.

You mean a bog standard motherboard with CPU and nividia GPU mostly used for gaming and webbrowsing.

Eta windows in the only is I have ever had issues with printer drivers on as well now that I'm thinking of it

Eta though on we hardware like the tablet that particular set up does have its known issues but I'm a keyboard and mouse gal personally

I mean that's exactly what I have. Simple Nvidia 3070 with some random Mobo and 64 GB of RAM. An Xbox controller and a Wacom tablet aren't exotic. Most people will have an Xbox controller if they play any racing game or vehicle game on PC. Lots of artists exist. Wacom tablets are for drawing and are not a keyboard/mouse replacement but are used alongside them for things like Krita, Gimp, and Blender.

CUPS typically works for all printers on Linux, it's one of Linux's strongest systems. In my opinion, the better move is to never need to print anything. Print everything to PDF, sign digitally, and send stuff to my phone if I need it on the go.
