A different take on lifestyles: unfortunately there's a big gap in convenience between being able to move across the world and get everything you need in one afternoon in IKEA, and tracking it all down second hand.
An example from someone normally on the "just try it out" side:
Got a new laptop, it has a "high performance" nvidia GPU as well as the integrated AMD one. I was getting notifications that regular apps were using the wrong GPU and wasting battery, and I should use an option from the manufacturer to disable it. Once I eventually figured out that you needed to kill all such apps before enabling it does anything, everything seems fine, until weeks later I realise sleep isn't working.
Took a detour investigating "modern standby", which is Microsoft's new sleep mode that doesn't turn off the CPU and so was suspicious. But after messing around trying to force classic S3 sleep, messing with the powercfg command (which reported sleep as normal, wake on keypress, no wake timers, etc.), and testing with all apps closed, no change.
On the verge of giving up and assuming this was just the nature of modern standby, I booted a Ubuntu live USB, hit sleep, and saw all the usual pulsing LEDs. That reminded me of seeing the same thing when I used the laptop for the very first time, so I had enough confidence to "refresh Windows" (a reinstall that keeps files).
After doing so, I hit sleep, it worked fine, then had to gradually reconfigure the laptop, hitting sleep every time until it broke, which of course was just after I started feeling brave enough to make multiple changes every time. Narrowed it down to the GPU setting and all working fine after changing it back, but I'm going to be very selective about what I change and install for a while now.
I think most people who enabled the setting (as prompted!) would just be living with the battery drain though.
