I got tired of tinkering. It must work out of the box,
otherwise I
have better things to do with my life.
Then use normal recent distro release (i.e. latest non-LTS
Ubuntu). It
will actually require _less_ tinkering because of new kernel
versions.
And then start tinkering because of lack of distribution
support for certain software, specially closed source one with
lots of libc fun.
It is exactly other way around. Most recent distro releases have
best software support. You are trying to use commercial software
mentality which does not work well with the way Linux software is
developed. Same for libc issue - you can use stuff built vs old
libc version with new one, it is actually what we do with DMD
distribution.
