Got Linux on my laptop, literally just waiting a year to put it on my desktop (Linux does NOT like brand new hardware)

That might be true for distros like mint, but fedora is usually fine with brand new hardware.

My hardware's new enough that my WiFi card doesn't work on Windows 10 (and won't, only Win11), but it works on recent-ish Linux kernels. Not contradicting you, but it was interesting to see.
