Yea, I have absolutely no issues when running a mainstream distro with mostly default behavior (PopOS/Ubuntu). When I veered off into StumpWM land, I had a really strange issue that I had to debug.
My laptop is pretty much always in "Nvidia graphics" mode to power the external monitor. When I tried to install Stump I didn't have it hooked up. My laptop screen was completely blank, but everything was functional. To make a long story short, it was completely unrelated to Stump. My Nvidia output was prioritized and the internal screen wasn't activated.
I ended up learning a lot about udev, how to write udev rules (that ended up useful when trying to do something with a keyboard with a unicode symbol in its name that a program didn't like), and how to use xrandr. All in all, it was super satisfying to figure out, and I would say the frustration was worth it for me.
I know exactly zero other people in my life that would say the same thing, but I also know zero other people that would try to install StumpWM.
