I have linux issues every time I have a “new” machine, and it makes sense. Linux is a volunteer/ opensource project. It isn’t getting chipsets before, and building drivers in advance of hardware releases (at least it mostly isn’t; I understand that some times it does).
Because of that, the newer your harder, the crappier it works. The longer your hardware has been around, in-general, my experience is that Linux becomes an “it just works experience”.
I built a new 9950x3d + x870e system last year. trying to use the motherboard’s wifi would kernel panic things. couldnt turn bluetooth on and off. couldn’t control the RGB.
Now, WiFi works great. Bluetooth works great. OpenRGB supports the RGB. Things are great. Took time to get here, but we got here.
The strong irony is that when high core count and asymmetrical multi-CCD chips started rolling out, they were having CCD pinning issues in windows. But since Linux has a scheduler that has been NUMA awareness for ages… Linux was actually just fine with these things.
Linux was actually better for bleeding edge hardware for once.

Also, fuck you mediatek 7925e.
