    Yeah then instead of spending seconds closing a popup you can spend days troubleshooting driver issues

      What driver issues? Granted, some hardware has driver issues, but loads (most, even, considering all the legacy hardware that is supported?) hardware is installed easier than on windows as it simply works without installing a blue ray worth of bloatware to get a printer to work , it simply works out of the box.

      I’ve used Linux for over 20 years now for my desktops and laptops with a wide variety of hardware and software and yeah, I’ve had some issues here and there but nothing as bad as windows. Ignoring Nvidia cards specifically, last time I had a driver issue was… over 5 years ago? 7 maybe?

      Grantedz it’s a personal anecdote, but still. Linux “never working due to drivers” is something that want even an issue anymore since over 10-15 years ago.

      These days even most (if not all) games work on Linux as well. There is a reason why even Microsoft uses Linux for their shitty Azure platform
