Luckily, this is changing.  A few years ago you had to be a Linux wizard to
get suspend or wifi working on a laptop.  Now it often works out of the

Automatic external monitor hot-plugging support is currently being

and the RENDER extension.

EMACS is a good OS.  The only thing it lacks is a decent text-editor.
