      If it’s been a while you could try again as the kernel gets updated with support for various hardware.

      One of my laptops was awful with Linux but after a good while I tried reinstalling a fresh distro and it ran like a dream.

        Yeah. I was thinking of a particular gaming laptop, which does run almost perfectly with the latest kernels. But it’s not all the way there yet.

      As in the PC has some hardware which only has proprietary drivers from the manufacturer?

        Correct.

        You can run linux on just any hardware, yet somehow the capitalist still manage to fuck it up.
