The whole OS has issues with things breaking, and things just not being finished. Its as if I'm beta testing a version of another OS.

They're coding for all those different configurations. For free. Trying to glean from globs of proprietary bullshit that are black boxes from crappy manufacturers pushing more black box hardware that MS probably could bribe their way into the codebase of.

Just because it give the end user more responsibility as a system operator doesn't mean it's inferior. It means you aren't that interested in learning how to use or configure it. That's not an attack. There's nothing wrong with "I just want to plug it in, and it works". But calling that the fault of the devs is borderline comical to me.
