I'm gonna pull the Elysia card and say that that's getting in the way of me just using my computer.

One of the things I loved about Arch was that it kind of just gave you what you want. Most everything was just a `pacman -S` away which was amazing. Manually looking through a deb file or managing my own packages isn't attractive to me.

My point is, Linux isn't a panacea either. To sum this thread up, computers, they suck. But they also don't suck. It's a real love-hate relationship. Just like me and Haskell.
