That’s my point. The state of Linux is very different now and manufacturers work to make sure that there devices have official Linux support. If you go with a well known brand you won’t have issues.
Bragging about using Linux for 20 years doesn’t work for something that changes rapidly.
That was not meant to be a brag, just to show that this is not a beginner’s problem and that I can compare the change over time a bit. Linux still suffers from hardware support issues. Linux also supports a range of (older) hardware much better than others, but let’s not pretend this is solved.
Good for you that the things you happen to have bought work for you, but that’s just anecdotal evidence.
