That sounds out of date. Linux has reported itself as Windows via ACPI OSI and actually reports FALSE for "Linux" OSI query for well over a decade now.

most features of my laptop don't work reliably (MSI GS65) if I don't use the acpi_osi line, why would that be in that case ? I'm on archlinux with pretty much always the latest kernel
