    I switched to Linux on a laptop of mine because an update to windows caused it to not boot.

    Now I get to deal with my keyboard backlight not working, sometimes the keyboard freezing on resume, my Bluetooth not connecting on the first try, and my wifi sometimes not working, but it boots fine every time.

      Could I get that problem please? Pretty much any keyboard anymore comes with a backlight which I can’t even imagine being useful to anyone who can type. If they provide a way to turn it off, it’s via Windows-only software.

      Have you tried different distros? Some hardware is supported better by different forks. I myself have an odd situation with an old laptop that got weird Bluetooth audio issues on stock Ubuntu, but having swapped it over to mint (which is supposedly just Ubuntu under the hood!) it works flawlessly.
