Too Long; Didn't Read
The "year of the Linux desktop" never came to fruition. The second most popular Linux distribution, according to Distro Watch, is Manjaro. It was to Arch Linux as Linux Mint is to Ubuntu, an easier-to-use version of the base distro. It's hard to understand what's going on and why, so why does it take so much to work? This is patently absurd. It’s impossible to understand why, unless you’re an audio engineer, you won’t be able to plug into your monitor.
