Yeah, this. In fact, going with hardware that’s too-too new can lead to a different problem on Linux.

OP, if you’re buying hardware, it’s worth web searching to make sure people have tried it on Linux and are having good experiences with it. Since most manufacturers only care if their stuff works on Windows, it can take a little while for Linux devs to write drivers and get them shipped in Linux distros.

This is true, though internet gatekeepers can keep people from being able to find these forums.
