This. I love this about most modern PC laptops. Sometimes you get some driver issues like I did on this MSI where I had to go through a kernel mailing list and use some python scripts to extract the firmware from Windows to get Wi-Fi working:

But that was also a gaming laptop. Every Dell and HP I've purchased in the past few years works perfectly with the mainline kernel. I've never had an issue with missing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or video drivers for years in a PC laptop.
Trying to get Linux working on a MacBook is a fucking nightmare:

I prefer i3/tiling window managers and package management to Win/Mac and I'd hate to work at a job where I'm forced to use either.
