I’m not saying that whatever happened to you didn’t happen. I’m saying that your assertion of “deb based distros not working with specific types of hardware” is 100% NOT a thing. Package managers DO NOT interact with hardware.
If you had issues, it was not because of deb packages or apt and your particular hardware, it was because of incompatibilities with the software versions being installed. Has absolutely nothing to do with deb packages.
I meant deb based as in those based on Debian OS…which feeds the other Debian based offshoots. I probably over simplified by original comment, I wasn’t claiming deb package management was the issue, just the relation to Debian base OS being the issue. So whatever the base OS of fedora and SUSE is worked fine (those happen to be RPM packages) maybe Arch may have worked or failed also.
The point of it all was , if one fails to install, try another distro, and I my case nothing based off of Debian could deal with the hardware issue
