Sorry to hear you've had such bad luck with Linux. I started a few years back with about ten Linux distros on two (previously Win) laptops. (Before that, ran an iMac until its screen failed and Apple wouldn't replace it.) The first few months with Linux were fun as I played around and discovered what I could and couldn't do to wreck an install. Zero hardware-related problems. And then I put multi distros on this generic i-5 box. And left them alone. Zero cares for years. All hardware covered. Xubuntu 18.04 boots from my SSD in under 5 seconds. I suppose you might have given up at just the time all those problems were going away. Stick with one of the Ubuntu flavors, or Linux Mint, or MX17, and the likelihood, these days, is that there'll be few problems. Unless, of course, Linux won't run some needed software.
