No - not true. There are glitches but none of them a dealbreaker. I am not a masochist - if it caused me pain I would have stopped using Linux on my laptop years ago.
Much of what I do is commandline. So a not atypical work setup is to have some kind of messenger, a browser, a terminal and thunderbird running.
That is 95% of my day and it works great. I would switch if it didn't. I am not trying to play the Linux version of the longbearded UNIX grump (http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/1995-06-24/) .
Really it works great and I would not willingly go back to Windows. And would grudgingly go back to MacOS.
I don't understand the flipside - why people complain about Linux desktop. You should make it work or go back to your OS of choice.
I get sucked into these articles because I think I might learn something or see something in a different way. THey almost always disapoint.

I'm not sure that's even possible. If the complaint is a lack of drivers and poor support for hardware, how is the average developer supposed to deal with that?
