What would you consider a "real production-ready environment" for the desktop?
I don't know if I'm just lucky, but my last 4 HP computers (3 laptops and a desktop) have all worked perfectly on Linux since day 1, whereas Windows has been a complete shitshow, having to wait as long as 1 year for some peripherals to be supported. In one case, I didn't care, since it was the webcam, which I never use. In the other, it was a PITA since it was something graphics-driver related, and I couldn't reliably use an external 4k screen without doing a plug-unplug-replug-just-right circus. Sleep is hit-and-miss, with one laptop being almost guaranteed to wake up and crash at night while left asleep. The desktop PC still has unreliable thunderbolt support.
Then there's the UI that lags like no tomorrow, the windows jumping around when switching virtual desktops, new browser windows never showing up where you expect them, windows seemingly in the foreground not getting input, inconsistent input field behavior, etc. Oh, and half the dialogs are still from the windows 95 era, so it's not even "prettier" or more "cohesive" than my i3 / gnome frankendesktop. Also, the start menu search, aside from being slow, has a good probability of not finding the app I'm looking for.
