The sleep comment is apt. Having run linux on laptops many times in the past, the regular incompatibilities and inconsistencies are hard to get past. From power management features, to wifi quirks there is always something that just doesn't work right.
I've spent the better part of my life, from age 6 onwards tinkering with computers, installing and reinstalling OSes and I can honestly, say I'm over it. Now I just want the damn thing to work like every other user. I think being burnt out on tinkering makes me a better developer though. At least as far as creating a good UX goes.

Don't get me started on what the WiFi switch does in Linux. (I could swear it sticks a random value in the CS and IP registers.)
