In the olden days, I would have spent hours to fix it, completely forget everything I've done over the course of those several hours and then having to reinstall it bcs I've broken something else in those unsuccessful attempts and now dont have the energy to figure out this clusterfuck too.

Ahh, good memories.

You're really selling me on Linux. Sounds like a nightmare

That was a decade+ ago, closer to two.

I've always had far more driver issues with Windows.
I have a niche laptop that for mic & speakers doesn't really have drivers for that exact ID and a close (working) match are ancient, so can't avoid crackling sounds. No issues out of the box with Linux.
