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.

Give me 5' with such an OS and I will find at least 20 things which are broken.

Indeed. I was surprised to install Windows on a two year old Thinkpad recently to use some proprietary hardware and ended up with more random issues than I'd have on Fedora.

Trackpoint sideways scrolling not working (works fine with libinput), inexplicably high power usage, wifi disconnects...
