Except that's not true, you can buy a laptop that has windows installed and it typically works. However trying to install windows yourself, you often run into all sorts of issues.

windows installation have improved dramatically over the last 3 years.

i always have had a debian and a windows laptop. for at least 20 years. 95% of my time is on the debian one.

this year was the first time where i thought a windows laptop might be enough. i am waiting for the next release of the WSL2 and i think i'm jumping ship for good.
