For me unfortunately it has been Step 1 install literally the most universally compatible distro possible

Step 2 audio drivers craps out. No fix is available. Trying to apply workarounds completely Bork the system

Step 3 install again. graphics driver is problematic, refresh it giving it MOS permissions. I miss the MOS permission screen at the reboot. Look for how to do obtain that option again. No easy way to do it at all. Bork the system again

Step 4 install again. Notice touch screen support is completely useless, and pen is not supported.

Step 5 Ask myself if keeping a 1200$ computer with tinny audio, no graphic hardware acceleration and a half functional display can be justified in any way. It can’t.

Step 5. Back to windows. Bloated, but it works.

Unfortunately system support is still very iffy on some models. I’d really like to embrace the distro life but can’t.

Yeah totally the customer’s fault for wanting a nice display in friggin 2024, certainly not the software’s which still has no proper support for it.

That a farm has a periodic yield while this sounds like a one off thing

The sustainable approach at this point would be eco-dictatorship, not sure if it’s so easily achievable
