I’ve had far more problems on Windows than Linux. For example:
SOs computer marked the GPU driver as disabled?? WTF? I thought her monitor died…
SO’s computer audio was messed up, and it took me an hour of fiddling to get it working (probably more AMD’s fault than anything)
had to manually download drivers for a variety of stuff…
And this is just since I upgraded my SO’s PC a couple years ago.
Here’s a similar process for my Linux PC:
all HW recognized OOTB - I ended up swapping my WiFi card to something better, and it worked OOTB
That’s it, everything just works. I sometimes need to fiddle w/ audio settings, but that’s because I have three audio outputs (headphones, and both monitors), and it understandably gets confused, but switching takes like 10s. That’s it. Oh, and I run openSUSE Tumbleweed, a rolling-release OS, and I’ve had fewer problems in the 5-ish years I’ve used it (and upgraded HW in between) than my SO has w/ Windows.
So yeah, don’t know what to tell ya, Linux has pissed me off way less than Windows.
