Here's the problem. This morning I applied some updates (yum update) to my Fedora workstation (not a laptop) and now Gnome is failing to start due to a video driver issue. I can fix this, I've been using Linux on the desktop since 1996. But I don't want to fix this.
This is on a fairly modern desktop built with Linux in mind and a slightly older NVidia card. It should just work.
I also have a Mac laptop and am more and more leaning that way, as it removes many of the issues that get in my way in the Linux world. Sure it introduces a few more, like using MacPorts or something to get my tools installed. Perhaps jumping into a VM when I'm working on that 5-10% of the code that is Linux specific. But overall that is less time taken away from my day than a broken update (and I'm not even talking about a release update).
I'm pretty sure that in a few months my workstation will be Mac as well, with a powerful headless Linux box in the closet or something like that - where Linux works best. I never, ever have issues with my non-graphical linux installs.
