they are. Or are very close. I installed it for my sis and she had no issue whatsoever. For people that need a browser and maybe picture gallery, Linux is already good out of the box. Now we need more laptops with preinstalled linux and maybe support included.

@dieTasse @scottytrees When I installed Ubuntu on my laptop the touchpad failed to work, the screen was refreshing at a much lower rate, the USB scanner failed to work. I still can't get it to scan at full resolution and have now given up. I use Windows to scan stuff. And why is Ubuntu so slow to boot? Windows 10 from a full shutdown is faster.

to be honest ubuntu is the worst. I also always had issues with ubuntu. If you want ubuntu based system install pop os, its very refined. Or very stable is fedora. But its also that you are installing linux on unsupported hardware. You wouldn't also install windows on macbook and expected it to work. The linux disadvantage is that it will likely work and then people blame linux if it dont.
