Yeah, that makes sense. I was just under the impression that most of the hardware-facing software (kernel, drivers etc) were the same across distros and therefore keeping up with Ubuntu would almost be a given.
I was about to express my shock that Windows server had immediately obvious bugs, but then I sensed the irony. I would guess that Windows server on any given x86 server works a lot better than nixOS on my laptop. So not sure if I get your point there.
- keithpeter 11y agoUbuntu has a lot of non-free/proprietary drivers available for laptops. Other Linux distros don't, especially new ones with innovative aspects to the underlying system that are just becoming stable. Try running the lsmod command on your laptop to see which kernel modules are loaded. Google a few of the module names - especially ones that look related to the make of your laptop or its video card.
