    Only way I could get a bunch of drivers for my new laptop. Had no Webcam, no sound and only limited TouchPad functionality until I installed a preview version

            They did, but they didn’t work until I installed the preview version. I mentioned in a different comment: I got the laptop with latest Ryzen 735 and I think this hardware may be really new so Windows was still catching up.

                That was actually first thing I did, but resolution scaling is still pretty much broken at least on Plasma and I’m too old to switch DEs. Plus, I had very unreliable connection via my TB docking station that I’ve never experienced with my previous Dell laptop.

                I’ll eventually switch back anyway. I’ve been daily driving OpenSuse for over a decade, but I figured I’ll give windows a chance for now. With WSL, it honestly feels like a polished DE more than a completely different OS.

        I did, they didn’t work until I installed the preview version. I think this hardware is too new. I have the Asus ProArt 16 with Ryzen 9 HX 735

          Ohhh, yeah I suppose if it’s brand spanking new it might be designed for a certain minimum version. Not common but possible.
