Uhh. This is depressing.

I picked up Slackware and FreeBSD a long time ago and had so much fun plus found a career.

I finally through in the towel with Linux as my main machine a long time ago and went back to Windows as 7 was pretty good.

With Win10, I've tried to deal with both VMs and WSL, but once I got a MBP there was no turning back. I simply don't have the time or patience to deal with the issues Linux now has.

Don't know what the solution is. Perhaps dump Systemd and the rest of RedHat's decision.

Or maybe Redhat, Suse, or whover could just get one disto working perfectly on two or three hardware models a la Apple.

But not happy with how things have turned our with Linux on the desktop.

https://system76.com/ and https://www.thinkpenguin.com/ both sell laptops specifically for the Linux market. Recent Dell XPS laptops are also supposed to be great.
