Inaccurate. The Linux side should include a ton of wasted time trying to make 1 wifi card work or get stereo sound. Requirement = lots of pointless time.
Same with me, a few years back, I completely gave up on trying to get my laptop’s audio drivers working since they periodically killed themselves for no apparent reason, and decided to just not use audio, even though the main thing I did was watch videos.
I mean, for windows 11, I haven’t had many issues currently, only really the keyboard on my 4 year old dell malfunctioning, which then fixed itself after 3 hours.
Honestly, on my Fedora I have to fix things more rarely than in Windows 11. Granted, Linux troubleshooting is sometimes more time-consuming, but I haven’t met a single issue that would take hours to resolve in a long while. Ironically, my partner wasted about 6 hours recently getting Windows 11 to work with audio devices on a remote desktop client.
Still, we have to admit fixing some stuff in Linux is complicated enough to be outside the scope of regular everyday user.

Had sound issues on windows too recently but sure lol. I guess linux and windows have more and more feature parity every day :p
