  • Linux programmers have been battling Microsoft and its shady deals with hardware vendors for decades. That's the real problem. Just when something starts working too well, MS changes things up, dictates changes to hardware, and then that breaks it for Linux, so it's back to the old IDE with new hardware to figure out how to get around it. Or the hardware folk just don't consider Linux a viable alternative and just happily make sure only Winders runs well.

  • I learned by a lot of distro hopping, tweaking and tuning and compiling kernels (way back when tho), to not being afraid of "breaking things." Since Nov. 1992. It helps when you use a spare PC or laptop though, no panic about loss

  • An HP by any chance? These don't handle suspend well and you need to add a parameter or three at boot via grub (or systemd too). Otherwise the system gets tied up filling the log endlessly with rapidly cycling pcie errors and you end up crashing or frozen pretty quickly. If this might be your problem, see

    Where there's a problem there's usually a solution, you just might need to root around the web for answers.
