No, hobbies are supposed to require *fun*.  Hence, I use Linux (albeit in a
professional capacity as well).

Laptop rivers are actually less of an issue with Linux, since the kernel
is usually very up-to-date with all of the latest hardware and firmware.

There are often some minor sticking points, such as mapping functions to the
idiot keys (backlight control, touchpad control) that vendors seem to want
to use to differentiate themselves from other vendors.  On this ASUS 
laptop, some of those keys work out of the box.  Others, I've had to remap
myself.  But no missing drivers.
