I refuse to do work under Windows due to the bugs, inconsistencies, driver problems and shitty default UI.
For years I've just pushed in Debian with the unfree packages and let it do its hardware sensing stuff and it works, except at one job, where they had a lot of security installation and configuration in pre-made bash scripts for initial setup that were tested on Ubuntu so I used that. It was worse, mainly due to snapd being an annoying turd, but not as bad as Windows.
Multimonitor just works, automatic fan control just works, Bluetooth just works. It's been Toshibas and Lenovos and Samsungs.
From my point of view mainstream Linux distros have been solid for fifteen years or so.

- sedatk 2y agoI’d been trying to install Ubuntu or Mint on my desktop and miserably failed. In my case, nothing worked properly: OS picked the wrong monitor as main display, secure boot issues with unhelpful messages, no default HiDPI configuration. Basically, nothing worked out of the box while everything had been working fine with Windows.
