On windows though, it was once a year. And it wasn’t even anything I did half the time.
When are we going to stop pretending windows doesn’t ask more if you to have it working properly?
Because for the majority of people the experience is reversed
I’ve never had WiFi drivers just broke in my windows laptop out of the blue. With Linux that happened more than once. And having your wifi drivers break when you are not at home is super annoying to deal with because you can’t get to the usual fix.
idk from where I’m sitting linux is considerably more reliable, robust, easier to use, requires less tech work to use, is good out of the box, doesnt need me to manually start stupid ass drivers or find them constantly, doesnt restart in middle of work to update, does not steal your data and stash it in onedrive. Oh and my games dont lag randomly, crash and bsod for no reason anymore.
Try installing nvidia drivers on Linux and then report back in a few days
Windows is shit but it’s more convenient and reliable and works way more easily out of the box for 99% of people. This is not even debatable
And for the record I use all 3 major OSs. They all have their uses and Linux is great for a lot of shit but you 100% have to thinker with it way more than with other OSs.
WiFi performance is iffy, same with Bluetooth. We have a ton of data from the company I work it so it’s not even just 1 machine. It’s a few dozen.
The majority of people never install Windows at all, and even fewer install it using a generic Windows installer rather than the recovery image that came with their computer (with the drivers preinstalled).
If they did, they would discover just how badly Windows sucks for hardware support out-of-the-box.
But boy does that sound like a you problem. Most Windows machines, even those of technology impaired people, doesn’t break that often. Mine haven’t done so in over 15 years.
Ive never had that happen on linux.

Because it doesn’t, by a long shot?
My computer and peripherals dont even work with windows without me going around finding drivers.
Meanwhile I just install fresh linux and they work out of the box. How is windows the better, easier experience again?

I know this is Linuxmemes.

If you don’t do anything with it, of course it won’t.
Know what? Neither will any system.
