I think he has 2 ideas you are missing. The first is that this is a problem with the operative system, not the kernel, and to go with other operative system with ideology similar to the previous will likely make the same, regardless of kernel, so an operative system tailor for those whose do not want to configure is what should be aim for, like Linux Mint Debian Edition, which is my personal recommendation and preference when I do want something to work now but not to figure it out and configure in my Void ISO that like to make every now an then just when big updates arrives so I can simply install the image… The second is just referring to the posibility that by statistic you will end trying Mint soon or later.
