I would love first class hardware for Linux, specifically Ubuntu. This may just be a feeling, but too often do I feel like there is additional configuration that has to occur to get Ubuntu working on a repurposed laptop. There also seems to be a trade off of battery life — the same hardware platform lasts 4-6 hours running Ubuntu and 10-12 running windows. I know I can further configure the OS to get similar performance but therein lies the desire.
I get a great consumer experience when I purchase a MacBook or (some) windows laptops and I don’t have to worry about that configuration step.
It’s about time Ubuntu and other Linux distos are able to offer that same “ready to use” experience that I’m describing.
P.S. That said, it is worth pointing out that executing that configuration step is highly educational and, sometimes, pretty fun.
