I have a lot of experience with Windows and some with Linux.

The driver problems with Laptops are not only on Linux, though it is a lot more common, depending on the manufacturer Windows also has a ton of problems if you don't want to use the 8 year old pre-installed driver that was never updated.

And Linux is held back by (proprietary) software availability as well. Most of the time it would be Microsoft Office (a lot of people I know complain about alternatives like Google Docs or Libre Office not being up to par by a long shot). Another big thing is Games. Sure, most of them work quite well out of the box, but if they do not it would be beyond most of my friend groups skills to fix it. Not to mention the massive library of competitive games that some people play exclusively that just don't work at all.

I've been experimenting recently and while most games run fine and VRR & HDR & Multimonitor somewhat work after some experimenting & tweaks I still have problems with a few games.

Some recent examples would be Noita stuttering and running in slow motion. Getting anything from Ubisoft running (when it does run it runs great though). And modding is very hit & miss.

If Dual Boot with windows (especially if running Bitlocker) wasn't such a PITA I would likely use Linux as my main OS.

In fact Linux is the superior version of Factorio, since you get to have asynchronous saves that don't pause the game

Massive Ground planes on a multi layer board were my breaking point.

I tried to clean the through holes where a micro USB port was secured and only could get it cleared by drilling out the solder.... (Only had a soldering iron and wick available)

Ich habe unbound als eigenen Rekursiven Revolver angebunden. Bis jetzt noch keine Performance Probleme gehabt, zumindest nicht mehr als mit anderen DNSSEC Resolvern.

I've been playing Elden Ring with the Seamless Co-op mod with a few friends, it's been a blast so far.

You can do the same on Windows (mount ssh shares), there is an Fuse like project for Windows: WinFsp.

Agreed. And then there is the combo of the most recent NVIDIA driver and Debian Kernel that doesn't work together. First time I actually had to downgrade a Kernel update though.

But I guess this could happen with every driver

I picked up Starsector again this weekend and having a blast with a modded playthrough.

"Allows" You have to add/change a registry key, so it's not like this is an option Microsoft wants normal users to have.

[–] Klajan@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Really? It hasn't been reset for me once, I wonder why I'm not affected.

You could just make a backup of the registry key and install it again in a few clicks .

I wish, but multiple Laptops with unavailable drivers, barely working trackpads, sleep issues and a few other annoyances tell me it isn't always as easy.

I haven't found many systems that Windows doesn't run
