Oh, good! Based on my experience with attempting to run Linux as a first-class citizen, rather than in a VM hosted by an OS which can deal with actual hardware, I feel sure we can all look forward to another decade of "You can't get it working? Oh, you must just be an idiot, then." followed by "Why does no one use Linux on the desktop?"


Because you blame Apple when OSX doesn't run on your Windows laptop?

It is not the fault of the kernel maintainers, or any of the periphery developers, that you can't put Linux on your Windows computer. You want a computer that runs Linux, buy from thinkpenguin or system76 or Dell or HP a laptop or desktop meant to run it, or build your own and do the research on what vendors provide driver support.
