I have a love-hate relationship with Linux. Or maybe hate-love. Well, probably love-hate. Yeah. It\’s complicated.

On the one hand, I \”use\” Linux daily a lot. My cell phone runs Android–a variant of Linux. The primary product I work on for my company runs a version of Linux. Linux is everywhere.

But when I try to run it myself I hate life. I\’m on it at the moment, Xubuntu 18.04. But it\’s always painful. Always.

The mouse was the pain point today. And the display driver. But the mouse was the catastrophic problem. I installed a driver for it, rebooted, and my keyboard quit working in Xubuntu. That was a new one on me. Google rescued me, but still, it was a pain. And the mouse behavior is still very lame.
