Please update this if you fun into the usual brick wall of hand modifying config files or self-compiling some obscure git pull just to make basic things like audio and network work.

If you're going that far, you've taken a wrong turn somewhere. Please ask for help before digging into compiling stuff, unless that's what you're into, there's probably a simpler solution.

It sounds like the version they were using didn't have the right drivers in the build. Seems a lot of work to go to just to get new drivers.

How many people have these issues with audio and networking? I currently have 8 Linux computers and none of this has been necessary on any of them. It surprises me how many people claim to have endless difficult experiences. Many distros make it all very easy these days.

And editing a config file is hardly a "brick wall".

Its definitely a brick wall to a majority of people using Windows right now.

No it's not but it's also not something I'm prepared to put up with. When I turn my computer on it's because I have something I want to do and the thing I want to do with it is not mess with the basic configuration.
