Should just use Linux, tbh.

Wow. You're really committed!

People just won't be willing to use an OS that requires hours just to get connected to a network, or that won't display at full resolution because of some driver issue. Seems like a basic QOL issue to me.

Linux is not really designed for Windows users. Windows is.

Also, Windows blows.

I use Linux for old laptops, windows for new ones, for that reason.

literally never had any of these issues. The closest i've been was a weird proprietary bluetooth tag adapter in one of thinkpads that doesn't work. Oh well, i don't use bluetooth, and it doesn't have good driver support. Every intel chipset ever is supported natively (almost, debian doesn't include non free drivers, but that's a trivial fix) Literally just use an intel chipset, it will make your life so much easier.

I'm using a 1070 right now on my workstation, display output works just fine with proprietary nvidia drivers, i've also had it work just fine with nouveau drivers as well. Hell that shit literally displays at native res without any drivers, you just won't be doing any GUI acceleration at all. X doesn't give a shit, it just sees pixels and makes them light up.

No shit windows is designed for windows users? Who the fuck else is it designed for? Animals? This is like complaining about how big and clunky an f150 is after driving a corolla for 10 years. No shit, one of them is literally 3 times the size of the other.

You cannot go into linux expecting it to be like windows, just like you cannot walk into a wall expecting it to work like a door.
