Yeah I tried installing it a year or two ago, but a lot of the hardware on my laptop (only machine atm) was not compatible. It was stuff like the touchpad not even being detected. I booted into the same install iso a few months ago and somehow it all worked.
It's a shit show sometimes, but it can surprise you
A few years back, I had to compile a kernel with random patches to get the trackpad running on my razer blade (2018) working.
When it works, it's magic. I got better power usage using powertop than I was getting on Windows. When it doesn't, it's not something someone with no tech experience can fix, sadly.
