Every time it goes this way for me.
- People say Linux has matured and is a direct competitor to Windows.
- I install Linux, it goes fine, the install process is nice.
- Some stupid bullshit isn’t working, something “solved” like USB mice, a wireless card, a certain HD.
- 4 hours later I’m in some forums and I’m re-compiling drivers and they’re talking about doing shit to the kernel or something.
- I shelve Linux for another 3+ years, since clearly it’s still not ready.
This has been happening to me for more than 10 years. In fact it was the release of Ubuntu that really had me convinced.
