on Windows you can typically expect to plug in a device and have the basic functions work, have to download a driver to have full functionality, and that’s a pretty consistent experience. On Linux, it’s hit or miss. Sometimes you plug it in and get full functionality, sometimes you get basic functionality and there is a way to gain full functionality, sometimes there isn’t, sometimes you plug it in and it doesn’t work and there is a way to get it to work, and sometimes there isn’t a way to get it to work short of making the drivers yourself.
On average i would say the end result between the two is comparable if slightly favouring windows
What exactly is your intent here? All you’re doing is further alienating people from even trying Linux when you act like such a shit about people’s genuine issues they might encounter with it.
Oh, if we speak about “boot every day”, than Windows is notorious for changing peoples updates settings and then downloading broken updates. Linux (unless you set it up otherwise) won’t do shit if you won’t update anything over 10 years, everything will stay the same.
I run PopOS on my gaming computer. I blanket update whatever has updates in the PopShop on a daily basis. My computer has been rock solid for going on three years. I haven’t had to mess with any settings aside from a bit of audio config (through the built in UIs, nothing in the terminal) when I first installed.
This sentiment of “every time I update my Linux installation breaks” is like ten years out of date at least at this point.
I have more luck with Linux than windows on this one. My windows installs end up way more fucked from trying to bring in random shitty device drivers and shit whereas most Linux drivers are built into the kernel. Now sometimes you’re just out of luck on Linux and there just isn’t a driver but I haven’t had that happen in like a decade for me.
honestly ? I never had any issues with something breaking on boot , except for screen sharing not being supported on Wayland by some apps , but thats on login not on boot .
maybe its because I use a vaguely stable system (Ubuntu/Kubuntu) or because most of my linux experience was on laptops , but it all worked fine …
Boot every day and expect everything to just work
Plug a random device in and it just works

Think you got it backwards, these are Windows issues?
