I'm pretty sure this link was posted in response to this earlier link on HN: http://batsov.com/Linux/Windows/Rant/2011/06/11/linux-deskto... Which covers most/all of those things. Reasonably new and innovative hardware (like GPU switching in laptops) just doesn't work, period. There are plenty more examples. The browser makes Linux worse since the only thing you need from your underlying platform is really good driver and power management support. |

The only issue on the driver list I've ever encountered is wireless failing after suspending. Oddly, that issue only showed up after my latest kernel upgrade (and is a reason that I'm not using my netbook much until I figure out a fix). I suppose that I've just been very lucky with the hardware I've installed Linux on.
(I've also removed the FUD comment from my earlier post).
