Sadly the year of Linux on the desktop has yet to arrive.
Last time I tried a Linux distro on my NUC6i7KYK wifi was going down every few minutes, despite upgrading to latest drivers and support for 200% magnification of the UI on my 4k monitor was pretty bad.

- zrm 6y agoThe Linux driver situation will be the same until it becomes more popular. Most hardware works and some doesn't, and older hardware works better than newer hardware because popular hardware whose vendors suck often have better drivers produced by the community eventually. This is only a minor inconvenience because it means you have to choose the right hardware. It becomes a major inconvenience if you choose the wrong hardware, but nobody is forcing you to do that and you can always sell your thing and buy a different thing.
