Yep. Imagine that, using the specialist version of the OS strips out a lot of the bullshit.
I’ll never argue that the suck inherent to Windows is OK, but anyone who thinks it’s somehow completely unavoidable just isn’t trying. It’s always kind of shocking to see Linux users, who are at least on paper tech savvy, have complaints that include shit that can be disabled by toggling a single switch in a top level settings menu. Meanwhile they’ll act like some of the arcane hoops needed to fix shit like sleep mode, hdr, or audio on some combinations of hardware and distro is just par for the course.
Personally, I find the better approach to convert folks isn’t to create an insane caricature of the issues with Windows, but to go “here’s the list of all the stuff you need to do to fix Windows, or you can sidestep it entirely with Linux but risk occasional strange hardware compatibility problems”

These are tools, not religion.
Until windows decides you really should have that switched on and flips it back after an update.
