| I agree, configuration was just part of the “bullshit”. I had to manually disable the dedicated graphics card in my laptop or it would get ridiculously hot while idle. This is probably not an issue if you buy a laptop with preinstalled Linux. I do a lot of presentations. Getting Linux to work with various projectors wasn’t great. Maybe that’s better in 2019, but it’s never been an issue with my Mac. The lack of ports have, but buying a converter solves that. Updates broke my software and I had to spend a lot of time sorting it out. A more stable Linux distro might have been better. My external displays never really worked without problems. Having used a MacBook trackpad makes it really hard to use non-MacBook trackpads. It’s a range of stuff like that. I’m sure you could get Linux to be better, even for me, but I don’t want to use a single second on making it happen. I did when I was younger, that’s why I turned to Linux in the first place. I’ve spent my time building gentoo, but the older I get the more I want things to work out of the box so I can spend my time on other things. |
