I've used Linux off and on about as long as you and permanently since 2008 or so, I've never really had all these hardware problems I keep reading about over the years. I've had WiFi cards not work with certain distros, which changing to a different one has always fixed. I had issues with multiple displays years ago but that was with an actual CRT monitor hooked up to my laptop. I've had some minor issues getting obscure old gamepads to work on modern distros more recently but other than that everything's always worked pretty well whatever machines I've installed it on. Hell even my old TV tuner card that I could barely manage to make work with the software that came with it originally on xp on my old ass desktop from 1999, works well on Linux without hassle(not that I've used that thing for years now). I agree back in the day, many features were lacking when it came to the desktop, but that hasn't been the case for years. Using the windows 7 computers at my work or the few times I've tried windows 10 feels like a massive step backwards from what I'm used to on my Linux computers. Everything always just works. Whatever hardware I plug in, even stuff I could never get working in windows, like my rp350 guitar pedal or my midi controller, just work. Music and audio recording on linux is just awesome, I could go on all day about how amazing Jack2 is compared to anything I ever used on windows. I've only used Macs post os9 a few times, but I've never really liked them. They always felt limited and closed down. But, I don't know a lot about it so I can't say too much there.
