Have you used Linux in the past ten years?
I think Linux and Windows are kind of level on this nowadays. Most of the time it just automatically works but then it's a headache when something doesn't.
And one oft them has helpful manuals, forums and possibly a wiki that can help.
Other than some specialized hardware, Nvidia GPUs are the one big issue.
Can't hear you over the sound of my gpu fans spinning at mach 3 to cool my nvidia gpu running the Silent Hill 2 remake on linux with wayland. I use arch btw.
This is the single issue that has kept me away from Linux for the past 15 or so years. I always get to the “install GPU drivers” step, completely fuck it up somehow, read things online for a few hours, get frustrated, and return to Windows/macOS until I try the experiment again in another 3-5 years. I’m about due to give it another shot.
Its only if you want the absolute latest drivers at this point. Most distros come with somewhat recent but very stable graphics drivers pre packaged now. Generally its still much nicer with amd gpus tho.
installing gpu drivers takes 1 command in the terminal on Ubuntu
Can be done through the GUI since 20.04 at least, don't even have to open the terminal l.
Yes, on my laptop, wifi wasn't working.
Trackpad didn't worked out of the box.
On 2 different desktop, IPv6 DHCP wasn't working on both debian and centos.
I'm currently dealing with a regression on my laptop introduced a few months ago in a recent kernel update, where closing the lid kills the keyboard until you reboot.
I've had Ubuntu and the graphics, Wi-Fi, and resume from sleep drivers have all been sticking points
