I will say, I've noticed it's smart to treat Linux communities like specialty pet communities. You can follow the"general logic" but every now and when someones going to tell you you're a bad pet owner if you don't rub your guinea pig in coconut oil every week

This is the big temptation with Linux. It's open source, and there's a lot of information out there, so maybe technically you can fix XYZ..

..but, realistically, it's often better to just use supported hardware, or use a distro that supports your hardware.

sometimes you can get a "quick fix" from a github repo or some such, and it'll just work. ..but, it's so easy for a quick fix to turn into a rabbit hole of many hours, or even many days.

..and if you're doing that, you've got to be into it for the journey more than the destination.
