For me, I found it ok, my main problem is that with Linux everything seems to he hackish and half-assed. Rather than getting the damn thing working, some other person comes out of the wood work with a re-invented wheel to try and fix the problem rather than actually sticking to the one thing and fixing that - in the process, the problem is fixed but now there are new issues. Then again, one would argue that had the damn thing been designed from the beginning rather than throwing code at a problem, half these problems wouldn't exist in the first place.
