Linux distributions usually ship with almost all drivers, some specific ones might need an extra step to install. But I've never had a driver issue with Debian when changing hardware of an installed system, like switching a motherboard in a desktop. I think this kind of claim needs serious qualification but I've noticed Andrew Cater also making it earlier. > Digging a bit further and looking at the specs for this thing, it's a > not-very-fast celeron dual core processor, only 2G of RAM, and 32G of > SSD in there. I'm a bit less inclined to bother with it than I was. > Maybe I'll try the memory stick and see how it goes... These can be funny. I've previously tried to boot my 2021 Samsung Galaxy Book from a stick and got nowhere. Or got to the boot menu all right but it only showed the internal SSD. Recently after a little googling, some obscure web site claimed the memory stick should be at least 32 GB and formatted exfat or ntfs. The latter requirement probably isn't true but I tried a 128 GB stick and it booted no problem. Amazing. This on a laptop with extremely limited options in what goes for bios these days.
