"I spend almost no time fiddling with my system nowadays."
And this is perhaps the main difference. You stopped tinkering.
You can install a Linux distro aimed a people not interested in tinkering and it will likely just work.
"... but in my opinion quality ux requires someone to get paid to do the un glamorous work like fixing compatibility issues and corner cases."
There are in fact quite of bunch of people getting paid to fix compatibility issues and corner cases.
Try buying hardware from a Linux-based vendor.

- pnutjam 9y agoYou should also stick to a workstation linux release. I'm a huge fan of OpenSUSE if you just want hardware to work, it has the hands down best hardware support of any release I've used. The only drawback is every wonky package out there is built for Ubuntu, for example Spotify's linux client. However, if you want a basic system that works, OpenSUSE is the way to go.

Ubuntu didn't "just work". Is it aimed at tinkerers?
