that's a big lol, Ubuntu has given me tons of driver problems, and it's only gotten worse since 2010. there really needs to be an option to download an extra-bloated ISO with every possible WiFi driver included. if the WiFi doesn't work, how the hell am I supposed to download the driver?? (rhetorical question) not to mention, the loss of easily installable VMware Tools included with VMware Player / Workstation / vCenter makes it way harder to configure VMs. that last bit isn't Linux's fault, it's VMware being stupid, but is absolutely a barrier to testing out new distros
