Hah. Nope. There's a ton of custom features on hardware that need tweaking all over Windows laptops. There are entire forums dedicated to specific brands out there. None of this was much of a surprise, I had put off giving this a try because I had read about the hoops I'd have to jump through and been too lazy to try.

Huh. I've installed Linux on anything from an old 32bit netbook to a Fujitsu convertible that both had such a fucked up UEFI implementation they couldn't even boot a standard Windows ISO without Ventoy in grub mode, as well as a cobbled-together Workstation with Nvidia graphics, and never ran into issues like this.

To each their own, but I can tell you I found people flagging all the issues I encountered online.

What is this mysterious device that requires specific libraries and kernel modules? So I can state the fuck away from the device and the brand
