@mos_8502 It's literally the only reason I use linux.
A computer is supposed to stay the heck out of the way so I can get on with why I'm using it - just like the belts on your tapedeck. It should have no shadowy existence of its own independent of you, and it should never gossip about you.

I hate how high maintenance Windows (and even OSX and some linux variants) choose to be.

@bojanland @mos_8502 That's *precisely* the sort of thing I'm talking about.
I had similar issues with Ubuntu, it's a terrible distro.

It's not unreasonable to want an OS that never does that. Heck, I can't even use a freaking videogame console without interruptions.

@bojanland @mos_8502 As a game dev and gamer I can rant endlessly about the state of consoles :D

The big item for me is the "christmas morning experience" - if you sell a console and an 8 year old can't open it, set it up and begin playing games that were gifts under the tree within 30 minutes you've failed to make a console.
You've just made a crippled PC.
