I am talking about lack of pretty standard features, not bugs. Having more users would not help there. And in general, you dont need a huge influx of users, and you definitely you dont get as much help from users who are not going to put at least some effort in the feedback they give. You want users that are conscious enough about what they are using to give useful feedback and/or support with donations. I am pretty sure that some people still are attracted to running an experimental version of linux.

Imo modern linux experience is much better than the situation you describe, at least as long as you use certain type of hardware. In the past it was definitely harder. But wrt asahi, I want the "luxury" of using an external monitor with my 13" macbook air, and sadly, while in the past x86 machines I put linux I would put some effort and get AMD mesa drivers to work, I cannot do that here. I respect the effort put in the asahi project, but calling it suitable for a daily driver is misleading, unless you specify exactly what sort of daily driver you mean. Stuff like using an external monitor is pretty basic in my book of daily usage.
