It actually was like that 2004. But now it is flawless to the point I am amazed every time.
just after that you could actually install onto a rando laptop and have pretty much everything working. I remember because a guy did that and at the time we were like woa. this is very good.
I was running Gentoo at the time and tried Ubuntu. Completely different on many levels of course but x just worked and synaptics. Which was weirdly the most Impressive thing.
time im thinking of was before I was even aware of ubuntu. the guy did it with suse at the time and pretty much I think all I was aware of was gentoo, redhat, and suse.
