This is true on Windows too
It can be, but I never really run into any issues. Part of it is I'm more familiar with windows than linux I'm sure.
My linux desktop experience hasn't been as good, I run it on my laptop since that's more just a web browsing device than anything and it's not critical if it breaks. The last 2 times I've updated Fedora it has broken the bootloader and that took me quite awhile to fix, I can't figure out why it keeps happening as it's a really standard install and doesn't make any sense.
I also still can't get HW acceleration working in any browsers, flatpak or directly installed, which has been extremely frustrating since I've never had to do anything on windows for it to work. There are no clear guides with one fix either, and it's not something I should have to be fixing myself, it should work out of the box.
