Or even worse: 1 result, the source code on github where the error message is thrown

I love it! (I don't but I wanted to provide a 3rd contrasting viewpoint)

Why would they?

Maybe because it was a work laptop I didn't spend as much time on setup as I would for a personal computer. There's were a lot of issues that I solved with tweaking at the start, but many of the lingering issues either had no solution or were so intermittent or complex that I couldn't figure out how to word it in a way that would lead me to the solution.

I used Linux desktop as my work rig for a year and a half. I absolutely hated it, had constant problems and lost time almost every day to stupid workarounds. When I tried to search or ask for help the answer I was usually met with was "your hardware is wrong" or "why do you want to do that" or more often than no "you're using the wrong distro, you should use [different one every time]". I also found the UI to be quite ugly and often obtuse, you can tell that there's very few open source UI/UX designers. I switched back to windows and I've had better performance and less bugs.

Don't they suck at getting into corners or anywhere that's they can't fit into, though?

I'm surprised because I would have assumed that they would be at least 50% efficient given how long they have existed and how ubiquitous they are. I'm sure many billions have been put into research and development of solar power and for 30% to be a noteworthy achievement after decades is surprising to me

From the article:

Of course, Li-Fi isn’t going to sweep away Wi-Fi and 5G alternatives (nor wired networks). Radio waves still have a distinct advantage with regard to transmission through the atmosphere at great distance, and though opaque objects.

It seems like this is technology more for 1 way communication with devices over a large completely open area like a warehouse
