Had to fiddle with a lot of networking files in /etc and poorly-explained stuff about bridges, blah, blah, blah. Never did get the network connectivity I wanted.

Gearhead? Guys who used to mess with their cars, can't do it any more because of the electronics, and take it out on obscure command line options in Linux. They have "detail-oriented/OCD" confused with "smart." Linux fairly crawls with these types. Ubuntu understands that most of the world is not like that and doesn't want to be like that.
