I must just be really lucky then? I’ve been running Linux exclusively for about a decade, including on my laptops and while my most recent laptop is from System76 every laptop I had before this one and all the HW in my desktop was purchased without considering Linux compatibility because I literally haven’t had hardware compatibility issues in years. I thought those issues were from Linux of the past and my own experience agrees with that. Weird.
Yeah based on my experience of lots of people using Linux in companies, you’re pretty lucky.
But obviously it can both be true that most people have no issues and it’s really unreliable. Like, I would guess 20% of people in my company have serious issues with Linux - random crashes and not going to sleep in bags. That’s really bad! But still 80% of people have no issues, which is why you always see confused comments like yours on forums saying they don’t have any problems.
