I can’t deny your experiences but anecdotally, two things which always seem to come up in ‘I try to use Linux but it’s just so broken’ threads are Ubuntu, and nVidia. See the other poster in the parallel comment thread for example. Indeed the 2 times I remember installing Ubuntu in the past, it felt pretty broken to me too for the hour or two chance I gave it.
