yeah, you’re mostly right (although driver support is a lot simpler on Linux in my experience, since drivers are part of the kernel), but most of the pain of switching to Linux is true for any switch of OS, since you have to get used to the new software and tools it comes with.

That’s no different when you switch your phone from an android to an iphone, or if you switch to windows from a mac, and really not Linux’ fault. It takes commitment to switch your daily OS and deal with all that entails, but that’s why it’s great how easy it is to dual boot Linux, while getting used to it
