> haven't had a hardware problem in linux since 2005 have you heard of GUI?

  I've run xubuntu on this thinkpad since 2010, currently 16.04. I've just rdesktopped into a windows machine to run a cisco ASA tool. Just had to reboot it. YMMV of course, and the plural of annecdote isn't data, but I find it hard to raise bugs when they don't affect me.

    well i consider myself fairly technical and i've been trying various linuxes since 2003 - every single time there were some issues that i can't imagine non-technical person to deal with. no matter the distro, no matter the desktop environment, no matter the hardware. graphics drivers, sound system, xorg config, multiple monitors, wifi, you name it. so excuse me if i take your comment about "no hardware problem since 2005" with a grain of salt.

      I've had tons of problems on the occasions I've built a windows machine -- took me 12 hours to get a windows 7 machine running casparcg successfully in 2015. I guess it's what you know.
