I would say graphics and suspend/resume. WiFi management is certainly an annoyance, but if the hardware works, I can cope with that. If the sound hardware doesn't work, it's useless (until I can find the time to study /two/ HDA drivers). Granted, I had to replace the Atheros card in my XPS 13 with an Intel, but that was only 19 USD and about 20 minutes, so that was also just an annoyance. > I hate to say that, but those are the two that kept me from adopting Gentoo FreeBSD on my laptop when I wanted to install it several years ago. The intel sandy bridge graphics support was new enough that it had not really made it downstream to Gentoo FreeBSD and the lack of a network manager equivalent for doing easy connection and disconnection to WiFi networks from a BSD userland was a headache. :/ I'm really grateful for all the recent graphics work. Without it, my XPS 13 would be running Linux for sure. I would thank people by name, but I would miss some. You know who you are. :) Eric
