I tried it, and basic Ubuntu immediately failed with my 5k monitor, especially when I changed the scaling to anything else than 100%. With my previous laptop, the whole graphics system failed. For some reason, about every fifth reinstallation worked (based on pure luck), then the first kernel update fucked it up again. So that “everything just works” is unfortunately not universal, it depends on your setup.
- Rinzler89 2y agoI had a diferent issue with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on a 2022 Thinkpad. Most of the time it would only detect my external DP 4K monitor as 30Hz instead of 60Hz so I had to unplug and replug it repeatedly until it would finally default to 60Hz while this never ever happens on Window with same monitor and same laptop. And no, I couldn't just manually set it to 60Hz because that option wasn't detected and wasn't available until I would replugged it multiple times for it to be detected, and then lost again the next time I would replug or resume from sleep. Linux is good, but God help you if you fall through the net of Linux HW compatibility quirks.

- goosedragons 2y agoI once built a PC that would blue screen Windows 7 within the first 10 minutes. Reinstalled multiple times from different installation media including a retail pressed disc. Nada. Same result. Windows Vista though ran fine. Ubuntu fine. Later Windows 8, fine. Just 7. Why? Who knows.
