interestingly during the past two weeks the second largest market (dream market) was unusually unresponsive and at times not reachable ... maybe they were testing and deploying their fork of the market ...

I would consider myself pretty "technical".
And yet, I am not willing to spend more effort than absolutely necessary for setting up my Linux OS.
Just b/c I am a programmer and even love to use zsh and Git from the CLI does not imply that I have any patience for fiddling with drivers and kernels.
In the "Linux Community" there only seems to exist the hacker (who loves to spend ages tinkering with config files and debugging hardware issues) and the technically incompetent user (who most likely uses Windows anyway).
