The last few times I installed Linux on a machine went fine for 95%+ of what I expected.<p>First, the worst: a high-end gaming laptop from MSI. Everything worked except the wifi that was not recognized, and the GPU that was too recent to have built-in nvidia drivers (but &quot;nouveau&quot; was working).
I had to use a realtek driver from github and a classic ppa to get the most recent nvidia drivers easily.<p>Then: my main computer, and my gf&#x27;s. Both worked without any change. Install is fast and easy to customize (emplacement of &#x2F; &#x2F;home etc). Also, Linux runs much faster on my gf&#x27;s computer than Windows7 (Firefox &amp; document editing).
And I game everyday on my computer (dota2, some coop games) through steam.<p>Then of course: RaspberryPis &amp; servers (I&#x27;m a Devops). Nothing to say there, works like a charm. But we expect that much anyway.<p>So, has it fully matured? No, but it&#x27;s a hell of a lot better than it used to be, and going on the right direction, on fast rails (Steam). The problems I encoutered seem to come from the simple fact that since it is not the most common OS, it gets the drivers&#x2F;games after the others. And even that window is closing.
