Ditto this. I have used desktop Linux for about eight years now and graphics have consistently been the largest problem. If you can get them to work at all expect abysmal performance (excepting nVidia&#x27;s proprietary drivers).<p>Also if you buy a new machine you can&#x27;t expect it to work straight away, in fact you should expect that Network and sound cards, touchpads and hardware related hotkeys <i>will</i> be broken.<p>I think it is still better than Windows on the development front though (Cygwin is a pain and, virtuously, Linux desktop shells are stuck in the noughties)
