Look at the VMware Broadcom merger. The price went way up and companies paid it anyway. However some did switch to the cloud or some other hypervisor.
It is not all of us Enterprises that "just paid". We chose a migration project over "just paying" Broadcom and would not call it a merger, but rather a takeover.
We are using 845 G8/9/10/11 (AMDs) at work and from my testing with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS I have the opposite experience - nothing works. First problem as I recall (+1 year since I tested) was wifi driver problems.
Don't care if it's Apple, M$ or Google - non of them should do it that way.
Are running 2 Dell's at home with Linux desktop on them. A 7280 and a 7480 model. Support for drivers etc just works. Dell get's A+ from me in regards to ease of use with support for Linux. HP's, not so much - what a struggle....
Maybe - but I seem to recall also checking out Debian testing also = no joy.
