I miss useful computers for people who make computers useful for people. MacOS X used to feel closer to this ideal. Operating systems feel like they have moved toward throw away consumerism (maybe they always were throw away given the pace of change). Linux feels increasingly like a subsystem for running web apps and systems. I kind of miss the nerdiness of it all.

If you are going with the default desktop setup, it's not surprising it doesn't feel like it's really enough for you: most distros' default options are there to make it easy for people who don't know what they want yet.
