For sure, it isn’t even only the corporate or specifically beginner focused distros that are like this these days either. Most distros have gotten with the program of having GUI choices for most things, easy ways to install proprietary drivers if they weren’t allowed tk bundle them already, and even their own ecosystem like an app store.
Some FOSS software does not work as a full replacement for missing professional software, but that’s about all that comes to mind as far as issues.
honestly, most issues I’ve seen recently have been relegated to ubuntu-derived distributions like popos!
it’s so silly to me how people have this strong misconceptions. I get it for some weird hardware or hardware that EOL that people are clinging on to with windows 11 and grandfathered drivers…
but that’s getting rare… I have a mothballed AMD R9 290X piledriver system, still sitting in storage. that can even run modern Linux distributions… meanwhile my 2 year old (except for GPU, which I got this year) system runs just as flawlessly.

I don’t get it at all.
