No. Linux still has plenty of hardware problems. It just is "incomplete" . My main pc is a custom desktop PC where I run Linux Mint. I mainly play Cs:Go so I can do it in linux. But using it daily I've experienced problems here and there.

The latest example is that you cannot connect a secondary monitor to the iGPU when using an external gpu. There are some textile editing/console mangling "solutions " floating around the internet that don't work.

Its 2021. I should be able to plug the 2nd monitor and use it right away.

There have been several other issues that I cant remember now. But that one is a really big one for me.

You can, generally, but if you've found something not playing ball, then you should name and shame. Give us the names of the specs so we can avoid.
