I appreciate all your replies. I really do. I can't say I've read everything but I have looked, scan, read much of what you posted, in one way or another e.g. I usually start with Wikipedia.
I nothing so far has convinced me there are enough resources put into any project to make anyone of them a "daily driver" for a desktop/laptop or that there will be anytime soon.
I can't complain as it's more a wish and/or a hope. I really don't have the time, brains, or money to significantly contribute. It's just that I was trying to ask those that might have one or more of those, if it might be a good time for the "foss" community to seriously consider it, or if not why. So, I can understand better.
