Reading the various forums and reddits Nvidia appears to be the major pain 
in the ass although some people have problems with touchpads. Everything I 
have is plain vanilla with either Intel or AMD integrated graphics. 
Getting the fingerprint reader working on the Lenovo took a little work 
and after I got it working I found it more trouble than it was worth. I 
probably could have screwed around with the pam stuff.

The older Broadcom wifi on a 2011 netbook has been the only driver issue, 
but then that's Broadcom.
