I have never even thought about drivers let alone search for them in Linux. Everything just works out of the box.

The only exception was when I wanted to try a different version of an NVIDIA driver. Ironically the one that worked best was the one that came with Ubuntu and was installed by clicking a checkbox to use proprietary drivers over open source

It mostly works out of the box. Go ahead and search for a few laptop models on arch wiki and you will discover that quite a few of them have features that need manual fixing (regardless of distro) and in some cases is unfixable.

Nothing is truly unfixable, it just might require kernel modding that no one has done before.
