I recall exactly once back in the day that Ubuntu actually just played audio through a laptop I installed it on and I damn near lost my mind.
like 30 minutes ago I installed Mint on a laptop and literally everything just worked as if I installed windows from the backup image. (I’m not sure power states are working 100% but it’s close enough and probably would with 3rd party driver)
My wife and I have a joke. It is always the audio.
We have used Linux since about 1998 and more seriously since the early 2000’s. Recently not had audio problems but I am not sure they are done with. Historically every time I think Linux has solved audio, there is always another problem it seems.
Suddenly your video card is as mundane and trivial a solved problem as your keyboard or mouse.
It just works and you never have to even think about it.
To even consider that a reality as someone who’s used Linux since Ubuntu 8.10… I feel spoiled.
Don’t even get me started on linux audio support.
