First off, if you use the words "Ubuntu" and "Linux" interchangeably, then you are mistaken. I love Linux but not overly fond of Ubuntu. I run Linux Mint Mate, and although based on Ubuntu, is NOT Ubuntu. It's solid as a rock right outta the box. Everything works except I replace caja with thunar and VLC seems to crash but celluloid works great. Aside from that, it just works.

I get what you are saying and I meant Linux in general as you will see from other comments other distros of Linux also have some issues as generally, hardware manufacturers such as HP don't give good support for Linux (many have started to give better support in newer laptops).

I mentioned ubuntu as an example of my experience since I have only used that.
