So, I came here with a bit of knowledge in Linux having fucked around with Ubuntu and Arch here and there, and I can tell you, even with a sturdy and non-rolling release like Fedora Silverblue, there are easily things I can do in Windows that just work without any additional overhead or configuration that simply does not work in Linux, like fingerprint sensors.

You guys all say Windows sucks and Linux is the greatest thing since sliced bread but it still can't do the fucking basics that Windows does in spades. When I install Windows on a machine, I have nearly a 100% guarantee that every single component is going to work properly with minimal config. When I try to do the same thing in Linux, it's hours on the Arch wiki or deep into forums trying to figure out how to get something as basic as a fingerprint sensor to work. That's not convenient for the average user, and you guys are not the goddamn average user, because you are okay with shit not working out of the box and doing configurations for a lot of little things that you would otherwise just take entirely for granted as simply working on Windows.

my xps13 fingerprint sensor works perfectly out of the box...

also why bring up arch? that distro is literally made for thinkerers. you need to compare windows to ubuntu or fedora...
