What this guy/gal said. Linux user for 25 years here, 10ish of which have been exclusive. And I run Mint on my main PC.
Because when I can finally wind down after the kids are in bed and I can hear myself think, I just want shit that works, without having to dick around with manual kernel modules and other custom stuff to get basic things working … I get paid to do the latter at work, and I get enough of it there.
