I also run Linux and let me tell you, you’re still dealing with a ton of bullshit. I never had to spend tens of hours to try and find the version of Windows on which I am able to get my hardware running properly only to have to trust some stranger telling me to install some home made driver to finally find the last piece of my puzzle.
Well, that’s totally another type of bs… but having to pick between MS bs and my own bs for not properly picking my hardware i prefer to stay on linux.
So… Perfectly average AMD hardware (5600x, 6650xt) that works correctly with Mint but not with Bazzite is a me not choosing the right hardware problem?
My wifi usb adapter supposedly being supported but not working for some reason is a me not choosing the right hardware problem?
Yes, Linux is not perfect, but it has a much stronger community than windows which helps, and it’s improving and growing every day. You won’t face any corporate bullshit(unless you use Ubuntu), but you might have issues with hardware support, etc. There is no perfect operating system unfortunately.
Windows treats you as being protected by European norms so you don’t have to experience all the bullshit… I’ve never seen any of the ads people keep talking about, I don’t live in Europe, I just tell Windows to use English UK as Windows’ language and then set my regional stuff based on what I actually want.
Install Windows > English UK > None of the bullshit
Install GNU/Linux > None of the bullshit

What does that do?
