I get that too.
Here's a recent example. I've got Kelly installed on a VM and I want to use a Wi-Fi adapter with it. It's a special Wi-Fi adapter that has great reception and some pretty good features. Works well with Linux... Once you go through 20 odd steps to get it installed. It does work.
PITA. I knew what I was getting into, the online docs we not terrible.
On the host machine... Dah-ding... Wifi. Fucking done.
What's needed is a driver deployment infrastructure similar to what Windows has, to remove the pain.
I have three Linux boxes. Four if you count the VM. I do truly enjoy the OS when it works. The main reason I stick with windows is because if something breaks with it I can consistently fix it very quickly. It feels like everything with Linux is just an extra 10 or 15 steps that I'd rather not be taking.
On a side note, I have definitely noticed that Windows 11 has some performance issues. It's no joke.
