The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.
And yet... linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as "not growing the userbase"

Or "if you're having trouble there is no manual, FAQ, or wiki, just join our discord troubleshooting channel" vomit
And after hours of troubleshooting, you give in and join the Discord where you're promptly ignored.
Or if you're really lucky, people are willing to help, so you spend hours more troubleshooting, often repeating many of the same steps, only for all of them to give up too. (As was my experience when I tried to switch to Linux Mint.)
What were you doing on mint that had that many issues? I am genuinely asking because I have always seen it basically be bullet proof.
Play audio through my mobo's built-in 3.5mm jack (without a significant delay). For whatever reason, Mint just really didn't like my mobo, and no one was able to figure it out.
Oh, I know this one! Make sure you're using pipewire and use HDAJackRetask. You can reassign the ports to whatever, you can even swap mic and headphone if you want.
Thats really unfortunate. Hardware support on linux is really hit or miss and until it is seen as a worth while investment to make sure that products work well on linux by the manufacturers it will remain that way but I can not fault anyone for going back to windows when things on their system just will not work.
