Veterans of Linux: what's one thing that "just works" today that would've sounded impossible 15–20 years ago?

I was thinking about how much time people used to spend fighting thier hardware instead of actually using their computers.

Graphics drivers, Wi-Fi, suspend/resume, audio... it felt like there was always something that could randomly stop working after an update.

Fast forward to now, and i'm seeing people run GPU passthrough, local AI models, gaming, video editing, containers, VMs... all on the same machine withoutt thinking twice.

It made me wonder:

What's the one moment where you looked at your setup and thought, "Huh... Linux has come a long way."

Doesnt have to be anything huge. Could be a driver that finally stopped being a headache, a laptop that worked perfectly out of the box, or just realizing you haven't had to troubleshoot somthing in months.

I'm curious what everyone else's "we've finally made it" moment was.

Cuz really... We've made far despite everything..
