Having just setup my gaming PC with an external SSD that can boot up as a ubuntu based machine learning workstation, I wholeheartedly agree. Desktop linux is brutally bad. At least they finally fixed the fonts. My current desktop is split into two because my 4k monitor which uses dual-dp is recognized as two monitors. Also, I had to install Nvidia drivers myself post install on a 640x480 desktop. The whole thing is laughable.

It was much easier getting nvidia-docker, tensor flow and caffe running than getting the desktop to limp along.

Equating Ubuntu with Linux is pretty inaccurate.

I would recommend giving something with GNOME 3.22, like Arch or Gentoo a serious try instead.

Yeah, I don't Arch or Gentoo are good recommendations if one of his complaints is having to manually install a driver.

They're easy to deal with once installed and have the latest drivers/are more likely to work with latest hardware.

You can use something like https://antergos.com to install Arch and https://www.sabayon.org for Gentoo.

You are just proving my point.
