Cathartic rant, or best cover letter ever?

In this case it's pretty different to regular kernel debug because I'm not debugging kernel code itself, I'm trying to glean more information out of hardware that I have no knowledge of, it's not as simple as "there's a bug on line X and I need to find out why this pointer is invalid" etc.
Best. Cover letter. Ever.
but I decided to scroll through the comments first. You beat me by a couple of hours.
Realistically it looks to me like they need a reasonably technical desktop Linux user with social skills and anything else is a bonus, but I have no idea what skills they have internally
Fedora definitely is doing the best, but audio, mic, and webcam all barely/randomly functioned, and a stiff breeze made the graphics driver crash.
Arch, Ubuntu, PopOS, Elementary and LMDE all purport to work, but half of them wouldn't even install properly as documented, and the ones that did had just as many or more errors and crashes as Fedora. I'm on LMDE right now and Cinnamon crashes 50% of the time I try to change workspaces.
It's gotta just be something amazingly wrong with their hardware choices. I've been full-time running Linux on my desktop for over a year and had more issues in an afternoon with my Framework than with a year of that.
