That was not meant to be a brag, just to show that this is not a beginner’s problem and that I can compare the change over time a bit. Linux still suffers from hardware support issues. Linux also supports a range of (older) hardware much better than others, but let’s not pretend this is solved.
Good for you that the things you happen to have bought work for you, but that’s just anecdotal evidence.
Reading through the comments here, the Linux community slowly seems move away from “runs on about every piece of hardware you can think of” to “if you don’t have at least the Nimbus 2000 that’s on you, sucker!”
