Linux is user-centric but it's also a giant pain in the ass to use. Right now my laptop boots up when I shut it down and close the lid, so I have a perpetually dead battery, and I can't seem to pass access to the camera to any apps at all. I also can't seem to get any video editors to utilize the GPU for rendering. That's just today's problems.

Laptops not designed for Linux sometimes have weird hardware problems -- someday I will buy a computer specifically built for Linux so everything works -- either that or get an old thinkpad and just live with it being slow.
