>It puts all the burden on the user compared to other main stream operating systems

When I asked for help for my sound (in linux its only 50% volume and sounds like its a cheap speaker inside of a tin can) I was blamed for:

- Using a laptop

- The brand of laptop

- The audio hardware of my laptop (its their fault, not the kernels "generic" driver)

Then was told to either carry around an external DAC + Speakers or buy a desktop with a "proper" audio card.

It was the first time in 6 years I'd installed Linux and it lasted less than a week.

This happens all the time.
