Yes. People should ignore them. The thing about long-time Linux (on the desktop) users is that they've got so used to how bad it is, they think it's good. Install Ubuntu/Mint/Pop/etc on a 3-4 year old laptop and.. Great, it probably works now! That is better than things were 10 years ago. It'll even connect with your Google account, etc. Wow! Looks slick. Close the lid. Open it again. Hmm. Blank screen. Fans going crazy though. Wait a while. Hold down the power button, start it up again. Spend 3 hours googling and trying things (and in the process, 'sudo'ing all sorts of stuff which appeared to do nothing but may be breaking things even more). Give up. Try to remember to power down instead of expecting sleep/suspend to work. Let's listen to some MP3's.. Oh.. Sound doesn't work! [Spend all night trying multiple ways to make sound work] Yay, sound works, unless it doesn't, in which case reboot. Good enough for now. Time to do some actual work. Plug in a couple of monitors. Hm, resolutions are a bit weird, let's go and change those in the easy GUI config screen and whaaaAAAT?! I don't think there's any need to go on.
