I've been using Linux a long time. Eventually when you get a brand spanking new system or upgrade a component, you will inevitably have to compile a driver from source.
For the longest time, I had to extract garbage from a Windows wifi driver, package it into a Linux driver and pray it worked. Every. New. Kernel.
Now most of my hardware just about works unless it's super fresh. More than anything my problems stem from some Library I use for a hobby project being poorly documented, requiring an ancient external source, or just being incomplete in a way I find frustrating.
So my answer is start hobby coding and then hate your life because everything you learned is functionally incomplete and existentially annoying.
Looking directly at you Intel Extension for Pytorch.
Thanks for the insight thus far. I appreciate it.
