Comment Linux Needs More Hardware Testing, Less VM Testing (Score 1) 150

So, the reviewers download an .iso, and run it as a VM for a few days. To get a sense of the user experience, you need at least a month running an OS--Only. To get a sense of UI, you cannot use the command-line to work through the issues. Though, the command-line and GUI coexist quite nicely on most CAD programs; it can be done.

Linux has problems perhaps Fixed In Forums--Not in Code. These kinds of bugs should have been squashed years ago.
The Following are on Mint 22.2:
Lenovo P15 Gen 2. Bluetooth Disconnect/Connect Looping, completely unusable.
HP Desktop Computers: 3 Flatpack problems, seems better now. Video modes underutilized.
AMD 3900x/Nvidia 4070. RND warnings on boot. Machine often fails to wake, corrupted one drive.
LG Gram: Runs pretty well, but errors on boot.
Lenovo X220 Network doesn't not reconnect manually. Most other works.

Some Cinnamon UI issues:
Ability to make links is disabled by default. Softlinks might be beneficial.
File copy has no speed readout, and no minimize button. Desktop button must be used. It's supposed to be multitasking.
We want a simple 12-hour AM/PM clock setting, by default for U.S..
Needless GRUB for pre-boot.
Other than Docker crap, still no OpenFoam solution for me on Linux It's a problem because virtual machines cost for high-performance computing.
