I've been using distros since Kubuntu 6.06. While I have dual boot, Ubuntu MATE is what I use everyday.

A little over a month ago I built a new PC on the AM5 socket platform (modern hardware). The ASUS motherboard has a built-in Wi-Fi adapter. Windows 10? It just works, it simply required installing a driver at most. Ubuntu 22.04? Even lspci doesn't properly identify the adapter name. Now I have to hope that I can find a driver that I will have to compile and hope it to work.

Unfortunately, GNU/Linux distros still aren't as convenient as Windows. Blame the hardware manufacturers in this case or whatever but, in any case, the final experience is not smooth.
