Re: RE: doing things behind the curtain
'I had a brand new laptop in 2015 when Windows 10 was brand new out of the gate and it had a few missing driver issues.'
Ah, so you freely admit that you did not install W10 yourself. So, you admit that all the hard work of matching the OS to the laptop hardware had already been done for you.
Please note the OP's statement, which you are responding to: 'Windows may give the appearance of just working if it get it pre-installed but installing from scratch can present all sorts of challenges about missing divers or hardware which just says 'not working' even with the right driver.'
Clearly user mileage varies, but overall - at least in this user's anecdotal experience - all OSes are pretty much of a muchness when it comes to installation woes and ongoing maintenance. They all offer their own particular kind of pain, but I know which I find most bearable. :-D
