Step 1: Throw computer in recycling (reality is most computer aren't properly supported. period.) Step 2: Purchase a computer that doesn't such ship with malicious proprietary software and for which the source codes available so you can actually run a properly designed, maintained, and supportable operating system. And if the hardware your buying is dependent on proprietary software your still doing it wrong. Though I will forgive anyone for which actually has a mostly freedom friendly system (but only if the graphics and wifi are also free, it's not like that is an impossible task, there are a few vendors shipping with free wifi and graphics, even if all the shitty Linux vendors don't).
Oh wait no you are a Linux user who has no fucking clue what designed or engineered looks like as opposed to the mess that Linux and the various user land distributions have always been.
"so you can actually run a properly designed, maintained, and supportable operating system" So, it's designed, maintained and able to be supported but doesn't actually have support?
I'm struggling here. Which operating system are you suggesting is designed, maintained and supportable?
I've been using Linux since pretty much the first time I managed to borrow an Yggdrasil CD from a friend and eventually figured out how to make the boot floppies. I've used many operating systems before and after that.
Linux is the absolute best most widely supportable and capable OS there is if you don't require MSOffice or exotic Windows only vendor specific apps. Otherwise you may as well just run Open/Free/NetBSD. Want to reconfigure your default network card's settings? Edit one, tiny textfile. Need to change dns, edit one other, distinct file. Adding a DHCP server? One other, distinct and again, logically named file.
Anytime you get tired of cursing the chain of quests that is current Linux support and HowTo's that

Properly designed? So you are a bsd user?
