Be like Them
The problem is when we want to be like them. "Give me the free-as-beer Windows" attitude towards Linux (intentionally not using GNU/Linux, but that's another discussion) is repeated here with "Give me the Facebook/Twitter which doesn't bother me with spam". There is no such thing. Yes, certainly there is that we have to accept the limitations of our platform (no latest kewl games on Linux, no participants on pump.io/gnu social/diaspora), but there is a way deeper issue.
The only defense against "Give me the free-as-beer Windows" (or the first question being "How to run Wine on this?") is IMHO in not caring about what other people do. I didn't care when I started to use Linux and I don't care still whether Linux takes over the world, or whether I am able to get laid because of using Linux. I do care, whether while using Linux I can do things which I want to do with computer, and whether there is sufficient community which will maintain for me the platform in future.

This quirky Russian all-in-one PC skips traditional CPUs for a MIPS chip and Linux

Composer vs. Linux Distributions: A Mental Model Battle
Recently, Gentoo documented what they view as the Composer Problem: Basically, PHP projects using Composer can't be packaged the way they want to package it, with system-level shared libraries. This is not a new complaint; Other distributions have complained about Composer's impact before. But fundamentally I think the issue stems from having the wrong mental model of how modern PHP works when viewed from a distribution or sysadmin perspective.
