Gaddafi’s rein in Libya seemed pretty beneficial to Ordinary Libyans. So how did his regime fall? Unlike Iraq, NATO never invaded Libya, but funded rebels who over through Gaddafi. So if life was so good fro the average Libyan how was their rebels who were willing to over through him?

A lot of them were Jihadis that had left for Europe that came back: the Manchester bomber was the son of a Libyan jihadi that left in the 1990s. He went back with his son in 2011.

Gaddafi was winning this war easier than Assad did in Syria. The latter needed Russia to overcome the rebels (the SAA showed significant struggle against the FSA, even without ISIS being involved, and even if they might have come out of top, it would have been a Pyrrhic victory), while Gaddaf seemed to have less trouble to deal with them.
