Truth, but Windows drivers are too. Buy better hardware that implements the standards, people!

Nah, windows, albeit bloaty, has all you need and is well supported and has drivers. Linux runs older software, because it's "stable" i.e. Vulkan vs dx12

You could be right about graphics drivers, but for no-name usb hubs, wifi dongles and printers more than a year old, I think Windows may actually be worse. I had to stop being cheap, so sad... :D

I love Linux, really raw and DIY. But therein lies it's problems. EVERYTHING needs to be manually added or installed, apps or programs may or may not work etc. All part of the experience too

When I installed Red Hat 7.2, that was very true. When I did Linux From Scratch the next year, more true. This century - and especially in the 2020s - not so much. My mother has no idea how her Linux laptop works, she just knows it doesn't barf errors and run like molasses as it did under Windows. All this polish is sad. Thought of jumping ship to OpenBSD, but decided to tinker with bare metal instead :) That feels like OG Linux

Are you having problem with Nvidia?

I'm on AMD. Drivers in general. Also game crashes and freezes which never happens on Windows. Then I'm spending 20 mins in the terminal with ChatGPT trying to figure out what's the problem, oh I didn't have permissions? LoL
