Nothing about driver compatibility :( it's a long and painful process to figure out if the computer you want will even work with the software you want to use.

Of course I'm sure it's better if you use the blessed OS and version pair, but I've never found a reason to use windows before....
- krisdol 10y agoDriver compatibility could be hell in windows as well if you're cursed with a "switchable" graphics option. My last lenovo could switch between on-board and dedicated graphics, but the latest video driver that lenovo provided was from the year before I even bought the laptop. If I used the card manufacturer's drivers, they'd usually work but killed the ability to switch to on-board graphics; but if I used Lenovo's drivers, games performed very badly due to how out of date they were. Having one manufacturer and fewer models usually means longer and more consistent product support.
