Once I tried to use a newish nvidia GPU on an old cpu. It was the pandemic and parts were hard to come by. The minute windows update would automatically load the Nvidia driver in the background, the screen would go fully black with no going around. Searching online, the combination was unsupported by Nvidia and there was nothing you could do. Linux with nouveau worked flawlessly. No kernel parameter, just boot using a live usb and everything works. Yes, sometimes you can hit a weird hardware issue and need to revert a firmware blob or add a kernel parameter to disable something. These are rare occurrences, not the norm. Every platform has its quirks. It's just not true that windows or macos is perfect, you are simply used to all the weird quirks.
