No, never had mentioned problems. I'm using Debian GNU/Linux exclusively since 10 years on various computers, and most of the time it just worked seamlessly. But usually I run older hardware. If I buy something new, I first assure myself about the Linux capability of the box.

Same here - linux user for like 20 years, last 5-7 have been debian. I user it at home and work (3 HDMI monitors) no issues. I have a few things that don't work in the enterprise environment (Skype mostly works, cant transfer files or make calls directly - using Pidgin and SIPE; Evolution with Exchange connector is just OK, sometimes the Address book barfs; no Visio level drawing tool where I can share drawings with co-workers - have to use Windows laptop). But, everything else just works - running Gnome 3.22.3 - I am a NetSec engineer and I develop apps for my team using Python (PyCharm with Snap) - so, not totally FREE, but totally works and made my workflow faster and better. Tilda and Terminator as emulators, ZSH (best shell ever) - all in all, never going back.
