I've been using Linux for a similar time. To be fair to those people, there were massive roadblocks for ages. 802.11b (then G, A, N, etc) support, Flash while it ruled the roost, DRM-video playback, GPU-acceleration, Bluetooth device support, proper sleep, functional multihead, application support, etc, etc, etc. It's not fair to say "there's always something" in a sarcastic tone, when there legitimately has always been something holding people back. Especially on laptops. Is it easier than ever to use? Definitely. Does it support a significant chunk of hardware these days? Yup. Are there actual proprietary/commercial pieces of software on it? Yeah. Does it game now? Sure does. Are there still reasons people might not be able to use it? Definitely.
