But I support a big group of scientists, and when choosing Linux for laptop they usually pick Ubintu. Guess why? Because all just works, no need to invest (waste actually) their precious time into fiddling with the system. They can just do their science. I don't intend to blame anybody for what or how they do. I just would like everybody to realize the reality.
