After desktop GNU/Linux distro-hopping again, for the first time in more than a decade, I'm starting to understand why people still write off the desktop experience as not ready for primetime. For the most part, a fresh install gives you a working Win95-Win7 experience. Simpler or flasher, depending on your exact hardware combo. But in every version there's things that don't work as expected, and not even a rickety UI bridge to carry you across to a working (if janky) solution.

You mean Linux experience on hardware designed specifically for Windows and tested with it?

Of course, not everything will work perfectly.

Get Linux hardware if you can afford to, even if it's used.
