I got a windows laptop from my employer. In one week, sound stopped working. I had to follow the instructions here to fix it: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkCentre-A-E-M-S-Series/Fix-for-Missing-Intel-High-Definition-DSP-Driver-on-ThinkCentre-Desktop/m-p/5012225 https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkCentre-A-E-M-S-Series/Fix-... Then it stopped working on nearly every Windows Update after. I'm not going to argue that under Linux there would be less problems or something crazy like that, but Windows has its own share of problems as well.
