Repeat after me. If you have to read 10 distro wiki pages and fiddle with some flags and settings hidden behind a "Proceed with Caution, Accept the Risk and Continue" screen and still only work some of the time only on some specific systems, it is not a supported feature.

And Santa is real.
I’ve been running Linux since the 90s and literally the only machine that’s ever been troublesome is my current one. But even the issues I’m having with this laptop are really no worse than the issues I’ve had with macOS.
I still have a MBP I use for work (and an iPhone and Apple Watch I bought for myself) so I’m bought into the Apple ecosystem and there is lots I do like about it. I just don’t believe Apple products are the pinnacle of perfection that others on here claim. Nor that Linux is the shit show that Apple fanboys make out.
Ultimately, computers are complex and people have subjective preferences. So what works for you might not for others. And visa versa. Assuming that your experience must mirror everyone else’s verbatim is a sign of arrogance rather than understanding.
So maybe instead of being dismissive that other people have had positive experiences, instead you should be grateful that there is a choice out there for people who are less receptive to the platforms that you personally prefer.
So does my laptop. And my sister's laptop; and my father's laptop; and my cousin's laptop; you see where I'm going.
>Linux still doesn't have hardware accelerated video playback on browsers.
I don't know about Chromium, but Firefox has.
>Like do you guys just always keep your laptops plugged in all day?
No, because I installed Linux its battery now last longer than on Windows.
