As in the PC has some hardware which only has proprietary drivers from the manufacturer?

Correct.
You can run linux on just any hardware, yet somehow the capitalist still manage to fuck it up.
BrianTheFirst@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Or newer open source drivers that are buggy or missing features.

If it’s been a while you could try again as the kernel gets updated with support for various hardware.
One of my laptops was awful with Linux but after a good while I tried reinstalling a fresh distro and it ran like a dream.

Yeah. Missy of the complaints surrounding Linux and hardware are BS. But complaints about Linux running well on cutting edge hardware are often founded.
Linux devs can only stary supporting new hardware once they have access to it or to accurate specs. Often, this is only once the hardware has been released.
But 6-month old, and moreso 1-year old hardware? Generally works like a (good) dream.

Yeah. I was thinking of a particular gaming laptop, which does run almost perfectly with the latest kernels. But it’s not all the way there yet.
