I spent the last few years grinding my teeth with both Windows PCs and increasingly dysfunctional Macs until I finally switched to Linux. Found a machine known to play well with Linux (Thinkpad), and with stock Ubuntu 18, I'm delighted to have had a dumb-easy transition, still happy with my choice a year in. Yes there's UX glitches, ugliness, and minor missing features all over the place, and it's random dot-file and random config-file heaven, but it's also refreshingly solid and predictable. The stock experience really just works, if I have to deal with complexity it's only because I go looking for it. Maybe your machine doesn't have a Linux-friendly configuration?
