If Linux "just worked" I would have switched years ago. I've used several distributions, always preferred Gnome to KDE, and even with "expert" help setting things up, I always spent way more time trying to make things work than actually having things work. Unless it's a basic-ass workstation being used for minimal computer things or to run a server for something, there's always something that doesn't want to work.

I like the idea of Linux more than I actually like using Linux. :/

Fair enough. What stuff do you run on your regular week?
