Edit preamble: I am referring to the last 4 laptops I have owned; havent had a desktop in a decade. This hasn't been my experience. Multi-monitor and hidpi only worked out of the box on one distro (pop_os!) and printing to an old brother laser printer only ever worked from Windows. That said, if I was doing scientific computing via matlab or what not, I would probably grab pop_os over windows too. I still do most of my development work on linux, and video / gaming / home office from the windows partition.

Yeah, matlab might be the reason, i did not really use Linux when i was a math student so i did not really feel the pain at the time.

I have never touched a hidpi display, but using multiple monitors has worked quite well for me, both on desktop machines and laptops. Including attaching a display on a running desktop session.

Brother printer usually supports linux. Sometimed you have to run their installer or copy their printer files in a cups folder.
