The biggest problems I have with laptops running Linux are the function buttons for like bright/dim backlight and volume, and sleep on close/open on wake. Did those work ok?
Silicon Forest Developer/hacker. I write about Generative AI, DevOps, and Linux mostly.
Once held the world record for being the youngest person alive.
I did not try the bright/dim on the standard Debian install but I just tried it with Manjaro and it works. Sleep on close/ open on wake doesn't but I haven't configured it to do so, I'll play around with it and let you know
Fun aside, I have an older laptop (Samsung Series 7 Chronos) -- after upgrading it to Win10, those buttons stopped working. It wasn't until I installed Fedora a year or so ago that I got the functionality of those buttons back.
Long story short, Linux can be even better than Windows in regards to function button functionality these days.
