I've been using Linux a long time. Eventually when you get a brand spanking new system or upgrade a component, you will inevitably have to compile a driver from source.

For the longest time, I had to extract garbage from a Windows wifi driver, package it into a Linux driver and pray it worked. Every. New. Kernel.

Now most of my hardware just about works unless it's super fresh. More than anything my problems stem from some Library I use for a hobby project being poorly documented, requiring an ancient external source, or just being incomplete in a way I find frustrating.

So my answer is start hobby coding and then hate your life because everything you learned is functionally incomplete and existentially annoying.

Looking directly at you Intel Extension for Pytorch.

Bluetooth, obscure laptop quirks, audio, fonts, maybe a dozen Nvidia related issues. Seldom all at once- but have been at it over a decade. >.<

Not an 'over time' issue caused like Microsoft's creepy fetish for more and more of your habits/data but, our devs are human volunteers, usually with day-jobs.

Highly recommend a bare-metal, manual install of Arch- promise it's not as scary as it might look, just lots of reading.. When stuff breaks, you'll have a decent idea of how your system is put together and where things have gone wrong. Congrats on objectively picking a derivitive of the finest pre-compiled distro Gnu/Linux has to offer! ^.^
