Linux supports my WiFi, made in China, edge technology as WiFi6 is
evolving, same maker with WiFi7 on Windows.  It's a new era.

 
This openSUSE install went well, and other than screen orientation and
virtual keyboard, everything worked OOTB.
My first Linux use was SUSE 10.1, bought in a box from a store.
It was aggravating to get it running, I mostly remember having to get a
serial port modem, would not use my internal modem (I think US Robotics).
 
Tried Ubuntu, Fedora in between, been 5 years since I've tried again.
 
It's a computer.

A lot of people, myself included, feel that their choice of operating
system will make a social, political or economic difference in the
world. I agree with you now: it's a computer. The operating system you
use should be the one which properly supports the hardware you
purchased. For a lot of hardware, that will be Windows or MacOS.
Sometimes, Linux does a better job on that hardware, but that is rare.

No, it's not "rare" at all. Linux runs faster on almost all hardware. (I
can't speak for ARM Macs because I've never seen one.)
