    It’s not about marketing, it’s about trying to turn on surround sound, almost blowing up my speakers with static, and reading through pulse audio or Alsa configs for hours to do what an AppleTV just does innately.

    Linux, and especially desktop linux, is a collection of disparate technologies by different groups with different priorities and it will never have a cohesive vision or responsive support.

    I’ve had a Linux desktop on and off for over 20 years and it’s always some bullshit or another.

    It’s always the year of Linux on the desktop if you’re a masochist.

    Signed: a masochist.

        The distro that almost blew up my speakers(and my eardrums) just happened to be Ubuntu! Small world!
