On a new Lenovo laptop, the configuration hackery was rather limited:
- disable UEFI and use BIOS
- install Debian (wireless didn't work during the installation, but worked without a hitch afterwards)
- copy-paste a script for decent powersaving settings (might have worked out of the box with KDE or GNOME, but I don't use desktop environments)
The only thing which does not work at the moment is most of the special function keys, which is no big deal for me as I don't really use the functionalites anyway.

- p200 14y agoI've done nothing to make sure all my hardware worked on my favorite flavor of linux. My special keys also worked out of the box. In addition I've spent exactly 0 minutes in the last 5 years figuring out hardware issues. You may have less success if you want to game or need 4+ monitor support; However I've been very happy in recent years with hardware support. There is literally nothing I've encountered in popular hardware that caused me any issues.
- niggler 14y agotsk tsk there are quite a few infuriating time machine settings that need to be changed out of the box 1) Time machine really shouldn't be running every hour. To change the period: # defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int <number_of_seconds> 2) TM support for non-time-capsule NAS drives is shaky (even with those that claim to support time machine) # defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
