  I would say “notoriously flakey hardware support” is a false statement these days

    Nope, still true of the last time I tried Linux last year. The sound system stopped working after every reboot, and clicking the distro’s built-in update button completely trashed the system.

    But it doesn’t have an AI button in the corner, so I guess that solves my problem!

    Nope. And that’s the problem and why people like us tell the Linux fan boys to fuck off.

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Well in my personal experience it has been rock solid

  Ah yes notoriously flakey hardware support. Like Microsoft doesn’t used it to power their entire cloud platform. The hardware support argument is dying tbh used to be true about 20 years ago

      Maybe try another distro?

      Also I’m curious. What distro were you testing with?

        Maybe suggest a solution instead of a fucking entire new OS. It’s like the “just move” people.

        The last time I tested the waters it was with Debian, Mint, and Ubuntu. Each one had some kind of issue on my system that made me give up.

  I guess people downvoting you are thinking of Brother printers, AMD graphics cards and Intel WiFi cards. Sure, it’s great when you have the right hardware, but what if you don’t. I’ve banged my head against Optimus and Broadcom, until I learned to be extra picky when buying a laptop.
