      Because for the majority of people the experience is reversed

      I’ve never had WiFi drivers just broke in my windows laptop out of the blue. With Linux that happened more than once. And having your wifi drivers break when you are not at home is super annoying to deal with because you can’t get to the usual fix.

          Try installing nvidia drivers on Linux and then report back in a few days

          Windows is shit but it’s more convenient and reliable and works way more easily out of the box for 99% of people. This is not even debatable

          And for the record I use all 3 major OSs. They all have their uses and Linux is great for a lot of shit but you 100% have to thinker with it way more than with other OSs.

          WiFi performance is iffy, same with Bluetooth. We have a ton of data from the company I work it so it’s not even just 1 machine. It’s a few dozen.

        The majority of people never install Windows at all, and even fewer install it using a generic Windows installer rather than the recovery image that came with their computer (with the drivers preinstalled).

        If they did, they would discover just how badly Windows sucks for hardware support out-of-the-box.
