My experiences are similar, it's not the software that's the biggest problem, I use mostly FOSS anyway. It was the lack of decent hardware support, e.g. Skylake laptop support, Displayport MST, that drove me to Windows 10.
- pjmlp 10y agoWhat drove me back, already in Windows XP days, was that the UI/UX and gamer culture don't really get along with the FOSS ideals and using powerful gaming computers as a modern version of Sun 3/50 (where twm was created).
- lima 10y agoWorks fine nowadays, Skylake + 4k MST screen. I was an early adopter and it was a bumpy start for sure, but you expect that. Just wait half a year or so after a new processor generation and it'll be fine. Zero issues on my Haswell laptop for the past years. Intel has full-time people working on the Linux graphics stack. I've contributed bug reports and stack traces and they have been super friendly and responsive.
- willtim 10y agoI wouldn't say it is working fine yet, for example: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116671 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116671 I'm not convinced mobile hardware is supported by them given this bug is still open and Skylake is approaching EOL.
