@mike@sauropods.win @PeterFalkingham@sauropods.win You're right in that those people who say that are glossing at best, and disingenuous/misleading at worst. When it comes to desktops, yeah, that spirit of just grab any old hardware is like 98% true. But laptops? Support for proper sleep, and hardware buttons (say, to dim and brighten the screen, or backlit keyboard), has a somewhat worse probability of everything "just working". That's why the Thinkpads are the gotos!
