There are quite a few answers which are essentially saying "install a different Linux distro". Here's one that's problematic for other reasons, but the poster appears to be attempting to be helpful:

But still, it seems to suggest the technical fix is to switch distros. Is this acceptable? This particular answer is basically a long comment, anyway, but based on How should answers which basically equate to "give up and use x instead" be handled? , I am inclined to think that answers suggesting using a different OS aren't real answers. Should I flag them as non-answers, not welcome, or maybe just downvote them?
