    Mint has been glazed since the beginning of time. Not a single laptop or computer I have ever owned has worked out of the box with it. As opposed to alternatives like Ubuntu or Fedora. I must be the single most unlucky person in the history of Linux.

      Is it always a new laptop/computer?

      I’d be suspicious of Mint on anything brand new (and hence only recently fixed in a lot of packages).

      I’ve had the opposite experience. Mint has just worked on literally every piece of hardware I’ve ever owned.

      I used it on an HP elite X2 and everything worked, touchscreen and it’s specific screen cover/keyboard

      It’s weird tho because I didn’t expect that at all.
