I had a similar "last straw" moment this morning and put Ubuntu 18.04 on the
Minecraft/Netflix notebook. Very smooth install and having Minecraft as a
1-click install in the Snap store was a pleasant surprise compared to having
to install Oracle's Java and/or find a ppa with the right configuration of
Minecraft junk.

Plus the LAN issues we were having with Minecraft have disappeared, and the
trackpad response is better, and the fonts even seem crisper for some reason.

BTW this is a $200 notebook with 2GB of ram and a 32GB emmc for storage. It
didn't have enough free space to keep Windows 10 updated (even after removing
Chrome, Minecraft, and assorted OEM bloatware). Now with Ubuntu (minimal
install plus Minecraft) there is 20GB free.

I have seen many people switch from MacOS to Linux nowadays. Not because MacOS
is bad but because of the new line of Macbook Pro. Hackintosh is more
difficult than it should be. Once Adobe products start to support linux, there
will be an even better adoption.

I've seen this too. I think that the "just works" progress of Linux has been a
factor here as well. Fedora especially has been rock-solid. I've helped
several people set up new laptops, and Fedora is my go-to these days because
it's "just works" is so good. Now that they have proprietary driver support
built in through Gnome software, as well as some non-free stuff, the
experience is great.

My idea for Linux compatibility: the ‘community’ picks two or three laptops a
year, and works in common to ensure they ‘just work’ on a range of
(documented) Linux distros. Focusing our limited resources around so few
hardware configurations would surely help in ensuring full and complete
support, and for people looking to buy for Linux they provide assurance ahead
of time.

 I had a exchangeable " final straw " moment this morning and invest Ubuntu 18.04 on the 
 Minecraft / Netflix notebook. Very smooth install and having Minecraft as a 
 1 - cluck install in the Snap memory was a pleasant surprise compared to having 
 to install Oracle's Java and/or find a ppa with the right shape of 
 Minecraft junk. 

 Plus the LAN issues we were having with Minecraft have disappeared, and the 
 trackpad reception is better, and the fonts even seem crisper for some reason.
