Linux desktop experience with tweaking is in my humble opinion best in class. The linux desktop experience out of the box is acceptable on systems where it works.

Fantastic is a matter of opinion and I have a feeling that the majority wouldn't share that opinion.

People with your opinion are most likely used to buying hardware that is supported or at least not buying stuff that almost certainly wont work and installing and moving on. You think the parent poster is full of it.

People with the parents opinion are used to buying something that works well with windows trying to install Linux finding 3 things that don't work well fixing 2 out of 3 and quitting in frustration. He thinks you are full of it or willing to devote far more time to fixing broken shit.
