your experience is more than 20yrs out of date. And i am not even exaggerating.

Drivers in linux normally gives you less problems than OSX or Windows (latest graphic cards model excluded)

My less than 5 years experience is still waiting for the beautiful AMD open source drivers to give me back the video acceleration and OpenGL Features from fxglr.

One of these days, the laptop will just get back W10 with its DirectX 11 drivers.

Dunno about that. I have a Dell XPS 9350 - to get a stable wifi connection under Linux I had to pull the Broadcom wifi card out and replace it with a much nicer Intel one (good luck doing that on the 2018/9 model - it's soldered in).

For a couple of years, the internal NVMe drive wasn't supported unless you changed from "RAID" to AHCI mode - unknown performance and power effects. It looks like that's changed recently.
