Granted, some hardware has driver issues, but loads (most, even, considering all the legacy hardware that is supported?) hardware is installed easier than on windows as it simply works without installing a blue ray worth of bloatware to get a printer to work , it simply works out of the box. I've used Linux for over 20 years now for my desktops and laptops with a wide variety of hardware and software and yeah, I've had some issues here and there but nothing as bad as windows. Ignoring Nvidia cards specifically, last time I had a driver issue was.. over 5 years ago? 7 maybe? Grantedz it's a personal anecdote, but still. Linux "never working due to drivers" is something that want even an issue anymore since over 10-15 years ago. These days even most (if not all) games work on Linux as well.
