Would much rather have a system that just worked but required a "hoop to jump through" in order to use git, vs the multitudes of hoops you have to jump to in order to get a Linux desktop system functional in a corporate environment.

At home when I'm futzing around I don't mind (and quite enjoy it). But at work I don't have time to diddle my device drivers and OMG the xorg.conf crap I had to deal with in the past that still give me nightmares...
