Well, you said it: mostly fine.

Mostly shouldn't be good enough. With System76 (and for that matter, Zareason) you'll have zero worries during OS upgrades, and never ever have to think about drivers. The laptop will just work.

I've never thought of drivers on my previous laptop and current desktop. And my brother's laptop too (these are all low to mid range though).

Perhaps this is less of a problem today, but at the time I made my first purchase from System76 (2012), the sudden absence of video and sound issues after every other system update came as a welcome relief.
