Please update this if you fun into the usual brick wall of hand modifying config files or self-compiling some obscure git pull just to make basic things like audio and network work.

If you're going that far, you've taken a wrong turn somewhere. Please ask for help before digging into compiling stuff, unless that's what you're into, there's probably a simpler solution.

How many people have these issues with audio and networking? I currently have 8 Linux computers and none of this has been necessary on any of them. It surprises me how many people claim to have endless difficult experiences. Many distros make it all very easy these days.

And editing a config file is hardly a "brick wall".
