My computer would often have trouble connecting to WiFi on Windows 11, literally to the point that the WiFi option wasn't showing up at all. I switched that computer to Linux late December and I have not had that problem yet.
I never thought there'd come a day where I'd read this statement
My Windows (10) broke Bluetooth in an update over two years ago and the situation has not changed. Never had a problem with Linux on the same machine (dual boot).
If "it just works" was ever true on Windows, those days are behind us.
NoooOooo, regular users don't have time for... Less technical issues! /s
Getting certain programs to work on my Linux machine does take extra time as opposed to if it were Windows, but it's counterbalanced by all those times I'd have to look up how to get the WiFi option back and try every single thing on the list because it was never just one simple solution that worked each time… also I don't get hit by unwanted forced updates, and now I update voluntarily without fear of even more unwanted telemetry being stuffed in there.
But if I just wanted to browse the web, check my email, shop, and do my banking, Linux would work out of the box better than Windows 11.
Did you try sfc.exe /scannow?

Yeah I agree. There are trade-offs but the number of issues I have on windows is far from zero, and like you said, a lot of the issues I do have in linux only happen when I opt into doing more advanced things. Normal computer stuff, once Linux and a browser is installed? Easier on a daily basis. Some Linux installers are easier than the windows installer too
Pff it's not like Linux has perfect WiFi either. I set my WiFi to auto connect to a VPN, and then delete the VPN later. That caused WiFi to always fail with no error messages except some incomprehensible deauth message in dmesg! Good luck figuring that out.
In the long time before now, we had many problems with wi-fi. Now we don't speak the word. Ethernet cable is the only way for connectivity.
I recently drilled a hole through 21cm reinforced concrete, just to avoid wi-fi.
i mean if you have that much concrete between you and the isp line you kinda have no choice
Sounds like every perfectly normal load-bearing wall I have ever seen...
