I think the innovation is slowing down because GNU/Linux has finally caught up to where other operating systems are today. The same could be said about Windows or MacOS. They really aren't innovating with any speed either. My biggest thing is that I hope with us at a point now where we have technological parity with the other OSes, we can start to see projects finish the 'last mile' of development. Most of the FOSS/OSS/Freedom Software out there is 80% and they just stop developing as "good enough". Which it is, but that extra 20% polish would really create a top notch system that can truly rival and even overthrow the other operating systems. We should try to shift our focus on building the software to 100% but finishing that polish needed for most packages out there.

Yep. For all traditional applications Linux is now Good Enough and I am FAR more interested on having applications that run on it, in my personal linux space.
I've got a linux that is yonks old still running a public webserver.
My car is 17 years old too., It runs OK
