This really depends on what combination of Linux distro and laptop you use.
If you install a user friendly distro like Ubuntu 12.04 yes, everything or almost everything works as expected.
Try to install CentOS on a shiny new laptop and let me know if everything works without messing with a lot of configuration files.
- pavanky 15y agoWhen you say _linux_, it is so broad. You have choices. You choose Ubuntu / Fedora / Linux Mint / ArchLinux / Gentoo for laptops. You choose CentOS / Debian / Gentoo for (older) desktops and servers. No one with a sane mind (or with enough Linux experience) would install CentOS on a shiny new laptop.
- octopus 15y agoThanks, I've actually used Linux from ... 1999, hopefully I'm still sane even if I need to use CentOS for RedHat compatibility on one of my shiny new laptops.
