As I mentioned above, a particular Linux kernel version not supporting your hardware well doesn't mean that other hardware is equally poorly supported. That's the reason you get rebuttals, because your "doesn't work for me" is no more valid than someone else chiming in with "just works for me". > Taking arch for example. 3 years ago, I was at a friend's flat. He was using arch because "it just works, never have a problem". And of course, when we set for watching a video, it didn't work. "Codec problem. Just a quick fix he had to do later. Usually it works fine.". This has nothing to do with Arch. And presumably if that codec issue even happened, if you want everything under the sun installed for you out of the box you should be using something like Mint or Ubuntu. I've had zero codec problems myself, things always just worked with VLC and mpv. > They all lived the problems I'm talking about, and are filtering No one's saying that Linux works perfectly for all hardware. But it's not broken for everyone either as you claim. Besides, I'd much rather spend extra 5 minutes installing tlp and tweaking sysctl for battery life than sit through hours of Windows Update installing candy crush and blocking me from doing work.
