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?

For my specific hardware (Framework laptop), the hardware is better supported on Windows. Lower battery consumption especially while the device is asleep, better handling of fractional display scaling, brightness keys on the keyboard are functional without needing to disable brightness sensor, etc. Most egregiously for a laptop, Fedora doesn't give any way to adjust the trackpad scroll speed (not sure if that's a kernel limitation tho)
