Pop!_OS 21.10: Radical distro shows potential but does not play nicely with others

wiiiiill

I've had a few problems from 20.04 21.04 and now 21.10 upgrade. 20.04. everything worked except my laptop speakers but I found a fix for that online. 21.04 the upgrade broke my system I needed to reinstall it with that version from a usb but it was painless the usb install found my old version and fixed it. 21.10 the latest 5.15 kernel doesn't work for my laptop. So I'm using it with Kernel version 5.13. I have a Lenovo Notebook I dual boot into windows and switch between the two OS with the bios menu. For me these problems are child's play compared to the struggles I've had setting up Debian 9 10 and 11 or Ubuntu which changes like the wind and won't change back it's just the Ubuntu way. Even Mint for me had issues but I hear Mint 20 is rock solid. I am a Linux user and die hard Debian fan. Yes we Debian users die hard lol fixing a lot of crap. For me PopOS is awesome it plays games and is extremely stable for everything else. System76 are far more forward thinking than any other Debian based Distributor and they really do work on hardware other than their own with dual boot. You just got to get used to switching through the bios and not the Grub menu. Haters are gonna hate I guess. So I call out the author on here. You can dual boot and it works great on other hardware don't believe me well give it a try.
