I downloaded and made a bootable USB of Elementary, all excited because it seemed to be exactly what I wanted. I live-booted it. It ran fine. Of course, I installed it to my secondary HDD, it was beautiful.

Of course, now, when it boots up, it shows me some gobbeldyguk that I have inferred means my graphics driver is not compatible (which is stupid, since it works fine from the bootable USB) and booting sends me from that screen to a terminal. No GUI. So much for "working right out of the box." Such has been my experience with Linux in general.
"Look at all this cool stuff it does, and it just works! Right out of the box!" FUCK YOU. IT DOESN'T WORK. IT NEVER WORKS. IT TAKES THREE DAYS TO BOOT ENOUGH TO USE THE INTERNET YOU LYING SACK OF GARBAGE.
