Edit: here is some context because people are getting mad
the reason i asked because my friend asked me to install linux on his laptop because he wanted to look like a cringey hacker so i installed it but after i installed linux few days after he reinstalled windows(i am not sure why but he said he can’t run bluestack, i suggested other VMs but he wouldn’t have any other way but that’s not reason i think he switched he was being dismissive) and now his mic and web cam is not working and some other stuff, so he’s asking me again to reinstall linux constantly and i don’t want to do that again (why? My school is far from my home around 9km/5.5 and i go there by my bicycle so after school I don’t wanna waste my time installing linux)so i was just ranting didn’t expect to make people mad
And here I just installed Debian 11 on a poweredge 860. No trouble at all, it just works. I’ve installed newer versions of debian of older laptops as well, I have a thinkpad T42p sitting here that runs it although it hasn’t seen much use lately. I dunno, it doesn’t sound like you have a linux problem, more like an ubuntu problem.
Maybe I’m just sour with ubuntu because they literally ignored a network driver bug for a decade before closing it despite the kernel driver working fine, rebuilding the kernel with their own instructions worked fine, and yet the problem persisted through all of their releases during that period. I completely ditched ubuntu a few months later but I kept getting the emails from the bug tracker over the years as other people continued to experience the same problem. Using ubuntu in a business environment is just insanity.
