This openSUSE install went well, and other than screen orientation and

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).

A lot of people, myself included, feel that their choice of operating
system will make a social, political or economic difference in thehttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/meet-far-left-groups-funding-anti-doge-protests-gop-offices-across-country
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.)

Doing a better job is not limited to speed. A lot of people would prefer
that their machines recognize their hardware and make proper use of it
over raw speed. What's the point, for example, of having a very fast
machine if the trackpad doesn't work properly, the colours are off and
closing the lid of your laptop causes the machine to shut down?

In 18 years my Linux machines HAVE all recognized the hardware. This simply

I realize that it's (obviously) not the case with you, but I think 99% of
your issues stem from nVidia and trying to run Windows games on Linux.

I've been using Linux since 1995 and I have run into some hardware issues over the years.

1. A Winmodeml US Robotics I think. Could not make it work.
2. Ancient Canon printer, winprinter I suspect.
3. Broadcom network chips.
At some point, all were well documented in the various Linux fora.
I was kinda bleeding edge at the time.
