Linux with universal good drivers, is probably what most of us would want and need.
(except for the lucky few, who never had an issue)
Specialized audio/video equipment? Probably, and of course the vendor will only provide them for Windows.
But if your hardware is over a year old, the Linux experience tends to be rock solid.
Yeah well, then you are among the lucky few, or you are not aware of the difference a good driver makes.
Right now I cannot get my linux workstation to do screencasting with hardware encoding(with OBS). On windows no problem.
And the laptops. On ALL my laptops I owned (6+) I tried linux, but experience was always worse, or even impossible. That includes tweaking, messing with grub, tlp and and in one instance even compiling the kernel. Still way worse battery life, performance, standby resume issues, freezes and dont get me started about touchscreen. I hate windows. But I have work to do.
Needs a touchpad driver on both Fedora and Pop?_OS, I'm not sure if this is still true or not. I don't really care, since I can fix this.
I use all the major operating systems.
Manjaro is way better than Ubuntu; KDE is way better than Xfce.
Debian is way better than Manjaro; i3 is way better than KDE.
Pop!_OS is way better than Debian; Gnome is way better than i3.
A few days ago I had to do some helpdesk for a friend with windows 10. We suspected that one of his three drives failed, and windows just refused to start up, so I wanted to jump into recovery/safe mode and take a look.
But for doing so you need to go through a ridiculous lenght rebooting the PC multiple times and go through a bunch of sub menus. I tried but it didn't work, so we unplugged the hd we suspected it was failing and used my linux laptop with an external hd case to diagnose it.
I have a w10 corporate version in a pc, and it works kid of fine. I had to install windows 10 home to a laptop recebtly and everything feels like an abuse.
If I have to fight with a system more than I fight with linux, with it's drivers issues and the problems that I can't fix without googling as I'm not intimate with the SO, what's the point?
Its just too much effort.
