Whenever I try to use linux on hardware, either audio doesn't work without stuttering, video doesn't work without tearing or some package manager dependency issue rears its ugly head. From my perspective, it seems inconceivable to run linux on (personal) hardware.

That being said, I am very unhappy with windows 10 at work, and would much rather have some older windows version. At some point windows probably will become shitty enough that linux might seem like a viable alternative.

> video doesn't work without tearing

NVidia, closed blob - no way to fix, contact support

> audio doesn't work without stuttering,

can't remember problems with audio last 5 years.

One thing that probably taints my perspective: the majority of machines that I have used, at home and work, have been thinkpads and business-class Dells, so I've always enjoyed excellent hardware support. Without that, I'd understand the balance being different.

What hardware are you installing it on?
