This line is getting really boring, especially on HN, which should be at least a bit more tech savvy than the regular forum.
I got a laptop. Removed it from the box. Installed Ubuntu, tweaked the dock drivers a bit. Everything works as it would on a Windows machine and no I don't need to downgrade Chrome to have Netflix, Spotify, Facebook, HBO or whatever work. Zero, zero compatibility issues and I can't be the only one since millions of people use Linux daily.
Then you're on the wrong subreddits. The ones I like the most are small or medium, have in depth conversations, analysis and interesting content. Or just gifs of cats, which is also something that I need from time to time.
I wasn't the last 5 times I heard it, what makes you think it will be this time?
