in all honesty with the options you have available these days, and easy options at that like installing Linux Mint or Windows ReviOS I don’t think people have any right to complain about windows. When installing Linux is just as easy and actually EASIER than installing windows then just switch already. “but my windows programs won’t work on Linux.” Guarantee you most will as long as they’re not named adobe. Hell you can even run .exe’s on linux now.
at the very least use ReviOS so iti’ll remove onedrive, copilot, edge, etc. But there’s no point in complaing about onedrive or copilot or the ads or them tracking you when you can switch your OS.
my daily driver is a laptop and I haven’t had any issues with drivers. I have an Nvidia GPU and it’s been fine. if anything you can partion out your drive and give a linux distro a go to see how you like it. Linux Mint is painfully easy to install. I’m on CachyOS which is a little more “advanced” but not by much and it’s just as easy to install.

Why can’t you complain about a company being shit when there are other options?
I don’t use a lot of products, I still complain about them being shit because they deserve the bad press.
So I’m a total Linux noob are there issues with drivers? I have a laptop I would consider doing this on if I wasn’t worried about it breaking.
You can get Mint on a “Live” USB flash drive, so you can boot it up and see if it handles all your hardware before you install anything.

I solidly refuse to believe you’ve had no issues with WiFi drivers on a laptop. Otherwise, yeah it’s fine.
I’ve used various Linux distress on a half dozen laptops over rhe last 10 years and I’ve never had Wi-Fi driver issues
