> OS that has actual hardware support. Give me 5' with such an OS and I will find at least 20 things which are broken.

  And you can complete this task remotely...

  Indeed. I was surprised to install Windows on a two year old Thinkpad recently to use some proprietary hardware and ended up with more random issues than I'd have on Fedora. Trackpoint sideways scrolling not working (works fine with libinput), inexplicably high power usage, wifi disconnects...

  Trivial nitpicking is not the same issue as hardware support.

    It's odd how you can hear two people make the same vague statement about Linux and OSes that aren't Linux, and the statement about Linux registers to you as insightful while the one about Windows/MacOS registers as "trivial nitpicking."

      Not particularly what happened here, no. To be clear, the OP of this thread stated the following with regards to Linux: >...Energy management, monitor color profiles, external monitors, discrete gpu / integrated switching, Bluetooth, webcam settings all these are broken... These things are what is being discussed, and they are not broken on macOS and Windows. You could not easily find 20 of these things "broken" in 5 minutes on a random setup given to you. Most Linux threads inevitably derail into people complaining that macOS/Windows don't work exactly how they want, and then go on to label those platforms as "broken". That is not "broken" though, and simply nitpicking. You can throw a rock on this site and find plenty of examples of it.
