This is very similar to my prior with NetBSD and life on a dell, and then an older Thinkpad model, brought into a new era. Basically, you can love an OS but wind up frustrated by the lack of progress against modern hardware. Things which "don't matter" to core, wind up affecting your lived experience because you don't only work with "core" but with people in your #dayjob who expect their lived experience in Windows or OSX or Linux to work on you, and pass you work related content or tasks you cannot directly do the way they expect, because .. your OS choice isn't tractable for that problem. I still retain a fondness for NetBSD. I haven't used it in anger for over 2 decades. I do work in FreeBSD but increasingly marginalised. Great OS. hard to live in, when you need to inter-op with people for outcomes beyond the tty. I will say that modulo a working GPU, or accepting non-accellerated, non-decorated X, if you have a browser which supports javascript and conforms to the expectations of O365, almost anything can be done fine. Audio/Video gets a bit harder sometimes, but mostly it's fine. I do worry modern Oauth2/MFA is going to kill the free OS. I now depend on some python3 code to make the nmh mail client work for me, hacking around company policy.
