I always had both Windows and Linux (Arch) on every computer in my house (now only a few of them have Windows because I use Windows in VirtualBox in Linux). It seems to me that wifi speed in Linux is always slower than that in Windows. Drivers are the culprit?
If you want people to use Linux laptops, I think you should make them really really fast (esp. at boot) so that everybody has to wow when they just try it. No need to use gnome or kde, openbox is fine as long as it's not ugly.
Then wifi spped must be faster or at least as fast as in Window. Next is printing.
In summary, most of the issues are related to drivers.

- krzyk 10y agoIt is possible to use wifi driver without firmware?
- soperj 10y agoThe boot speed was the main reason I even considered switching full time to Fedora. I had a windows 7 dual boot. I'd tried dual booting other machines in the past, but the boot up into fedora is just so quick that I've used my windows 7 partition to do my taxes, and once get a adobe illustrator file saved as a svg so i could work with it in inkscape. That's it.
