This is my life right now.
I put Linux on my HP laptop...
Speakers give weird sound Media keys don't work Worst of all: ever since I updated the laptop somehow crashes my router? Like, I don't even know how this is possible, but it's happening.
I'm not an idiot but all the solutions to getting these seemingly basic things to work as intended are extremely contrived.
Yes I completely understand that. But it also undermines the "give your older laptop a new life with Linux" narrative that's out there at times. It's actually not that easy. I'm happy running Linux but I wouldn't put it on my moms old laptop..
