This was a bad one, when I bought the laptop, the latest upgrade just didn't work, it would brick the laptop. I have no idea where to even start to debug them. My bluetooth mouse is now working without issues, besides a bluetooth systemctl restart from time to time. Audio works after a decent amount of manual config (finding the right driver online, the one shipped on ubuntu is the wrong one), but with horrible latency (almost 1sec). Bridging wifi from my android phone is another workaround I use I've had to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks covid quarantine, I'm glad I had my windows laptop with me, as linux didn't want to connect to their wifi at all. My otherwise well-supported thinkpad has a crappy broadcomm wifi+bluetooth chipset. Sometimes I works, sometimes (usually) it doesn't. I've never had a linux laptop that just worked regarding scans and printing. VR games on linux is a no-go at the moment. There's a non-negligible overlap between gamers and developers. Games, obviously, and I'm sure you know that. Looks like a linux, smells like a linux, and performance is way faster than on my linux laptop (purely because the windows laptop hardware is much more beefy, I'm just saying WSL2 performance isn't a bottleneck) I'm a linux guy, I've used linux almost exclusively for the past 10 years, but one of my two laptops recently started running Windows10 + WSL2. I almost don't want to answer, I'm wary about the replies telling me how I'm doing it wrong or how I'm unlucky with my hardware (with a hint of 'I don't believe you') or with guides about setting up stuff. Most commercial options like symantec, norton, mcafee, etc are absolutely terrible. There are some strange system dependencies that I've seen cause issues cortana search powering the start menu search feature and disabling the swap file causing numerous invisible failures come to mind.įaulting anti-malware is frustrating because on windows you basically have to run it, and the default one is pretty okay.

Windows is famous for backward compatibility, especially compared to Linux or MacOS, so I'm not sure what issues you're running into there. Disk cleanup wizard can help here too.Įdge hijack has never happened to me, although a handful of links inside windows apps/services/docs do force edge to launch (which itself causes a confirmation to make it default, which I decline)

Your disk space issue may be related to automated backups, system restore service, and LAN caching of Windows updates. I use a handful of Windows machines regularly and don't experience most of these problems.
