No it does not. Give it to me for 5’ and I will find at least 10 things that are broken. Energy management, monitor color profiles, external monitors, discrete gpu / integrated switching, Bluetooth, webcam settings all these are broken.

Stop defending the state of Linux in personal computing.

The best we can do is to put it in a VM and run it in a OS that has actual hardware support.

Can you name a kernel with more robust hardware support?

Windows for starters. Also the title claims that things work well not that linux is the best.

Windows has pretty terrible hardware support IMO. Comparing the state of Linux Vs Windows on ARM/PowerPC/RISC-V, it's not even a contest.

I think there's a case to be made for the stability of Windows drivers (I should hope vendors don't half-ass support), but modern networking and storage drivers on Linux blow Microsoft's analogs out of the water.
