I had been using Linux on desktop up until 2019~ for many years. I have never had hardware (desktop or laptop) which worked flawlessly with Linux. I even bought parts in my current machine to be compatible with Linux, but even then it did not run smoothly. Maybe I am just unlucky. However, with Winodws it does feel great to have everything run smoothly. Zero hiccups with bluetooth, games, hardware lightning or anything else. WSL2 and VMs cover the rest.

I’ve been using Ubuntu on desktop and laptop since 2006, and Debian for 6 years before that. Haven’t had hardware problems for over a decade

Wife’s Mac mini sometimes prints, but it can take 20 minutes to go.
