If I have Linux installed on an SSD and I plug it into a Windows computer (a PC which I did not use to install linux onto the SSD), would I be able to use linux in that PC from the SSD?

No, they would not have driver issues “for sure”. It will work just fine most of the time and you can prepare the ssd for hardware that has problens withnlinux in general like some wireless chipsets.
Well that’s my point. Like if you take a completely unprepared desktop install you’ll likely run into issues with things like wireless chipsets, Nvidia graphics, etc. I think using UUIDs in
/etc/fstabis the default nearly universally now, but if not or if OP changes it manually they could run into boot issues with that. Alsogrub.cfgfor similar reasons.Also have to consider EFI vs Legacy, secure boot, etc.
