It happens. Particularly shitty proprietary hardware has held me back from upgrading in the past, as well. It is what it is.

I hope we see more mainstream support for Linux by hardware vendors in the next few years.

It's really mostly a labeling problem. Even vendors who have great processes to publish drivers can't seem to be bothered to slap a Linux Mint sticker on the box.
