Installing Linux is a walk in the park whereas windows is a Hilarious clown show from hell with no end.

As a server maybe. Switching everything on my desktop to Linux has been a constant fight against all kinds of problems and there's several things I haven't been able to get working at all. Microsoft's constant enshittification is closing the gap and it's currently a tossup between which one I'm going to land on but that's not Linux improving so much as Windows getting worse.

It's very hardware dependent with a few problem's like Nvidia. For Best results go established brands that support Linux like thinkpads.

That advice doesn't help much when I already have all the hardware. The whole point is not having to buy new shit.

I wasn't trying to give you advice, I was describing the situation in general. 🤷
