I think the fluff has it's place but I would agree that more efforts toward hardware compatibility and functionality are badly needed. An example that comes to mind is when I installed Ubuntu 10.04 from a flash drive on a client's netbook. The install went smoothly but when I rebooted, the system hung directly after the BIOS screen. Fortunately, I had read at some point previous that there were conflicts with Linux and the P2P (or something like that) setting enabled in the BIOS. Disabling that allowed the install to work beautifully. :-)
I doubt my customer would known how to diagnose this himself had he been the one to install Ubuntu. He would simply would have been without an OS to run on his computer as a Windows reinstall was out of the question.
