Really. Because it is all bloatware, all the settings menu's are all over the place, things get jammed in your face ( Use this new thing we made so we can own you even more ) and other nonsense.

A fresh install of Linux takes me far under 30 minutes. Most of them work out of the box.

I just installed windows 11 in 15 mins on a 5 year old laptop for donation. The one with Linux had an unusable trackpad with no sensitivity setting, and some sort of flat pack installer system that I gave up on mostly because of the trackpad not allowing me to scroll more than a page and a half at a time. U until was easier 15 years ago.

Good for you. You can use whatever you want. Linux works for me.

Have you tried a fresh install on the laptop with Linux. May help at times
