The way you describe it, Linux hasn't arrived, even after 15 years.
Linux the kernel had arrived long back and has many features.
From kernel.org :
Linux supports true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and multistack networking including IPv4 and IPv6.
Although originally developed first for 32-bit x86-based PCs (386 or higher), today Linux also runs on (at least) the Alpha AXP, Sun SPARC, Motorola 68000, PowerPC, ARM, Hitachi SuperH, IBM S/390, MIPS, HP PA-RISC, Intel IA-64, AMD x86-64, AXIS CRIS, Renesas M32R, Atmel AVR32, Renesas H8/300, NEC V850, Tensilica Xtensa, and Analog Devices Blackfin architectures; for many of these architectures in both 32- and 64-bit variants.
No doubt. But its the smaller things like problems in network-manager, OO versions and such that get even advanced Linux _users_ bugged. Coming back to the topic of the thread, doesn't the PPA for OO do what users expect from the regular packagers? Just because a code was not created, it doesn't mean it cannot be.
