Yes it was. That first summer I spent learning Linux was one of my best
ever.
Are you referring to the lack of good 3D drivers for all the various
cards on the market? The NVIDIA cards and drivers work great, but if you
want a choice other than NVIDIA, it's true, you're basically SOL.
But those are proprietary blobs from Nvidia. They bite me in the ass
every time I want to do something unusual like compile a kernel with
xen. Not to mention that I would like it much better if they were GPL so
I don't have to once again trust my fate to a big corporation. But that
is a dead horse.

But it will get better. Not sure if you are aware of the Nouveau Project
<http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/> but it is an open source project
to reverse engineer the NVIDIA drivers to get full 2D/3D capabilities
from NVIDIA cards.
