It's just a case of variables - even on Windows and OSX you can have problems with many things, different hardware configurations and software versions, it's just that being closed there's less of them. With Linux, since there's many distros and everything is open, you get more variations. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, it's just that variations make a software developers life harder - simple as that. Embedded devices don't have this problem as much (whether they're Linux or not) because things are more fixed. That's why console developers have fewer deployment headaches these days (although the advent of patchable firmware and multiple console versions has started to erode that). I say it's nothing to do with the software itself (Linux or otherwise), it's just about the variables. The more you lock down, the simpler it is. Proprietary systems can thus be a little easier to deploy for for the same reason embedded systems are.[/quote]
