You are not kidding haha, I saw the article and immediately thought the same. I use a Dell Latitude as my work computer and run it with Linux (Mint). It is a constant struggle between battery life, sleep states (lack of), camera not working, bluetooth not working and whatnot. I still prefer working on Linux than suffering the UX trash that is Windows, but god if there was some paid Linux version that prevented all the necessary tinkering :(
