No it doesn't, even on an Asus 1215B that was actually sold with Linux on it.

GL support isn't at the same level as the DirectX 11 for the APU, still has some issues waking up time to time (only fixed by taking the battery out), and is the only device that has issues connecting to my router.

Yeah, I have to second this. As badly as I wish this article were true, even on devices specifically designed to support linux, like the Framework, there are a million tiny glitches and inconveniences with sleep, wifi, power management, webcam, bluetooth, etc, etc. These simply don't happen on windows.

Using linux on a laptop is the same as it has been for the last 20 years: something you only do if you don't mind being forced to be an enthusiast constantly tinkering with configuration files and such.

If you want a tool to actually get work done it can be painfully frustrating. I say this as someone who willingly pays the cost of this frustration because I much prefer linux as a development environment. But the people who write articles like this are either delusional, lying, or very, very lucky.
