In 2013 I bought a laptop that I kept five years that had an Nvidia Optimus.

I never really figured out how to get the discrete card working consistently, and since then I haven't bought a laptop with an Nvidia card.

I've had issues with wifi cards and sound drivers and the like as well, though it's going a lot better now than it was a decade ago.

Weird. I must have uncommonly good fortune, as I don't think I've had Wi-Fi or sound issues for longer than that. I remember when I first tried out swaywm and having some sound issues because I also started moving to pipewore from pulseaudio, but nothing from an out of the box install of a decent distro.
