    at first i was baffled by the people reporting that they couldn’t get gpu and wifi to work; but them i remembered that my experience with those 2 made switch to buying from linux-only companies so long ago that i forgot that most people buy windows-only hardware to try linux on.

    i have linux privilege. lol

      I mean, a lot if people will have Nvidia hardware - which will limit your distro choices right from the start and if said green hardware is recent, well you’re fucked (for just a little while longer it seems).

        that’s why i started buying from linux only companies only; it removes that headache automatically.
