"I've never ever got my driving licence because of the absolutely paralysing number of choices. How ever do you decide on which car to drive?"

Nobody is forcing anybody which OS to use. If Windows is your choice, go to it. That's great for you.

When it comes to drivers, don't complain about Linux, complain to the hardware vendors instead for their laziness in not supplying suitable drivers for their own hardware.

Most Linux users choose their hardware to suit Linux, not the other way around. Consequently, "It just works".
