Pulseaudio works out of the box unless you’re trying to do something unusual, like streaming audio over your network. I never had any driver issues with “standard hardware” like SATA SSDs. Of course, peripheral devices like multi-function printers are a different story entirely, you still can’t expect them to “just work” if you don’t do your research before buying them.

Yeah linux doesn’t really need any setup anymore. My wife setup her linux desktop system (and proceeded to customize it in colorful ways) after being a windows user for her life, and the only issue her system has had is some piece of hardware is a bit unstable (same issue with windows, hence trying linux, though she likes linux a _lot_ more, even considering that she’s a gamer, much more so than I).
