This makes me want to move back to Linux, but last time I tried Ubuntu (2020) there were lots of little annoyances. Off the top of my head:

- Screen tearing. I Googled around and installed the Nvidia drivers for my laptop, but it never went away.

- No detection of tablet mode.

- No auto screen rotation.

- Slow Blender rendering. Probably a PEBKAC with my driver setup, but it just worked in Windows and it was easy to select Nvidia vs. integrated graphics.

- MS Teams shared my desktop as a giant blur.

- LibreOffice is still bad and incompatible with what my company does in Office, though that may matter less with Office Online.

Is there a distro that Just Works more so than Ubuntu? I'm sure I could have solved all of the above with enough time and effort, but I'm not in a good position to do that right now.
