    My partner is a luddite and needs help setting up a new cell phone, and had been avoiding linux because he thought it was just for programmers. I put Ubuntu on his machine back in '10, and he hasn’t run into problems with it because he only uses Firefox and LibreOffice.

      I do a lot on this machine. The last three days I’ve been compiling openwrt for a extreme ap. They are a cloud ap and eol. I’ve compiled a firmware for them and put in a custom initial config so they will be in ap mode and will work when they are plugged up at a router with no config. We have thirty of them at work and are donating them. I am almost done since I’m changing the ssid and passwords for each of them. I do a lot with ubuntu and it just works. I have little time for people that insist that its somehow garbage.
