      Yes, except I needed to modify some kernel parameters to fix display artifacts a few months ago due to an upstream bug. Wasn’t a big deal for me but the user who uses the system, even the concept of editing some parameters is beyond their comprehension.

      Yeah, I think the biggest obstacle to wider adoption of Linux is the lack of availability of devices that come with it installed. As long as you can’t buy a Linux PC at Best Buy & co, it will always be somewhat niche. Pretty much anyone can use Linux these days but installing it is just too much of a hassle for the average user.

        Yeah, the days of end users installing their own OS is in the past, PCs are appliances for most people now.

          I think it’s still around the same amount of people, just that the wider amount of users of PCs in general is far higher so the percentage of tinkerers to “just make it work” is completely different.
