I have never even thought about drivers let alone search for them in Linux. Everything just works out of the box.
The only exception was when I wanted to try a different version of an NVIDIA driver. Ironically the one that worked best was the one that came with Ubuntu and was installed by clicking a checkbox to use proprietary drivers over open source
I couldn't get Bluetooth to work reliably. Never thought something as simple as a Bluetooth headset would give me such problems.
Bluetooth is anything but simple. It's a hackjob upon hackjob of hackjobs. While it's true that linux implementation is also a bit of a hack, I remember the constant headache I had when all my peripherals were on bluetooth, and the pain of switching them all between windows PC and android phone. Never again, I'll take the wires instead, thanks
