> I don't remember the last time I got a Linux desktop which didn't "just work"; I can. I have a laptop with a high-DPI screen. It can output to a second monitor. Setting that second monitor up is relatively easy (though not as simple as it is on Windows or Mac), though getting the desktop to play nicely with a high-DPI screen and a non-highDPI screen doesn't just work. It basically becomes unusable at that point. The laptop was sold with Linux installed by default. > but the truth is that you can run into driver problems and issues too when running operating systems you pay money for, like Windows. Yes. Though, I haven't had that problem in years. And when I last had that problem, my solution was literally just upgrading the driver. Listen, I've hand coded XFree86 config files back in the day to get three monitors up and running on a Slackware system. It's gotten better. But it doesn't "just work."
