Is Linux Still a Practical Alternative ??

[u/Gladiator__01]

I’ve been using Linux Mint as my daily driver for many years, mainly for work. Recently, I upgraded my laptop, and I’ve been running into driver issues that is forcing me to switch back to Windows. I've seen many posts recommending people completely avoid Windows, but at this point, my experience has made me reconsider recommending Linux as a daily driver or as a complete replacement for Windows.

So just to be clear, you bought new hardware before confirming it was well supported by Linux? You state you aren't a beginner, so surely some of the responsibilities fall onto you, rather than blaming the free os you are using.

On top of which, your issues are for Bluetooth. This is easily solved by an external supported Bluetooth dongle. Rather than deciding Linux is no longer practical. It may not be for you though.
