I know what you mean, I feel like that sometimes. I'm tired of the compromises on both sides, and it feels like we're building complex software on systems that can barely get the basics right.
Ultimately I'd like us to get rid of some of the cruft and start again. I'd like to see device drivers being hosted in a bare metal hypervisor like Xen, then just allow all OSes to use this common base. I suspect we could see renewed activity in the OS space if the hardware side was taken care of.
In the meantime, have you considered using a Mac? I personally try to avoid giving Apple money, but perhaps they'll be a decent halfway house for you?
That's exactly it. Too many compromises on each side.
I've had a couple of Macs. Plagued with hardware and software problems and are very inflexible IMHO. Last was a 2011 MBP and Mavericks which was WiFi hell.
