    It’s not quite that simple, as common pain points such as Bluetooth and WiFi also work out of the box. For the vast majority of users, they don’t really go beyond things like bluetooth, wifi, and dual monitor, all which work fine.

      You may be right that bluetooth now works out of the box on Linux, but that certainly wasn’t the case a year or two ago. And I know for a fact that touchscreens are still hit and miss. I don’t know what improvements have been made to the Network Manager, but I suspect it’s still pretty bare-bones.

      It’s possible that things have changed drastically very recently, but I suspect the Linux situation is still mostly the same as before: it’s great for web servers, but frustrating - bordering on unusable - for regular users.
