Each time I've attempted to use Linux as my main OS it's always X11 that scares me off. Booting into console to edit xorg.conf gets tiring after a while, spending hundreds of dollars for graphics card that has more stable drivers, the general ancient 90's feel. I've tried it multiple times, but gave up each time.
- 1_player 12y agoYou may be surprised by the latest versions, then. I haven't edited xorg.conf in a long time (years?). And I'm using a power user oriented distro, Arch Linux.
- TD-Linux 12y agoAs long as you use the open source drivers, you'll be fine. And lucky for you, the cheapest graphics cards (Intel integrated and AMD) have the best open source support.

- mercurial 12y agoPer default, you don't have xorg.conf anymore on modern distros. I have been in the "edit xorg.conf" boat as well, but there have been tremendous improvements since the bad old days.
- donniezazen 12y agoAgain this is very subjective. I have never had to mess with xorg. Things like Nvidia Optimus are obviously a tipping point of the problem.
