That's why I said you can do it, the days when you had to do it are long gone.

Seriously, I think two of the biggest problems facing desktop Linux are:

- people having outdated experiences - equating Ubuntu, (not that great), with Linux and thinking that Ubuntu problems are Linux problems.

Can you recommend a better Linux experience for someone who wants to be able to turn their programmer-brain off when trying to watch Netflix? That's not a challenge -- if there's a better distro for civilian use than Ubuntu, I'd love to give it a shot.
