but 2018

honestly have had zero issues outside of the occasional nvidia driver bug, but that's not unique to linux

I�ve had a way easier time with nvidia on windows

fedora has the nvidia drivers in an official repo, so, once you hit 'ok i want evil non-free third party repos enabled' the first time you start the software center and install them, everything is automatic from that point on (i.e. i did it once 4 years ago and haven't had to mess with it since)

i do not miss scouring websites for drivers at all, and, honestly, in the last days of using windows, updating nvidia drivers was a crapshoot as to whether or not the screen would go black at some point and require a hard reset, after which you had to navigate the installer at 640x480 or whatever default resolution win 7 used

the problem with linux is that it�s a communist ideology first, and good software a far distant second

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Leninism, is in fact, Marxism-Leninism, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Marxism plus Leninism. Leninism is not an ideology unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Marxist viewpoint made useful by the historical materialism, a critique of capital and a dialectic comprising a full ideology as defined by the International.

Many political parties run a modified version of the Marxist system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Marxism which is widely used today is often called "Leninism ", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Marxist ideology, developed by the International.
