          I think I saw somewhere that Windows still has scheduled bugs with high core count CPUs so you can legitimately get better performance from Linux because the scheduler has already been optimized for high core count servers

      Sure but at least from my experience if the desktop hardware doesn’t support Windows we are already talking about a very obscure type of hardware that isn’t going to be mass deployed to the general public that would affect this user agent statistic.

        The thing with Windows is that you are dependent on the Manufacture to make drivers for the device. Windows supports nothing out of the box. You can see this if you install Windows stock on a device with no internet. Granted that’s very uncommon but depending on the manufacture for support is a mixed bag sometimes.

          Sure but that’s a really really narrow scope. Hardware is designed to work with Windows first. It’s unfortunate but it is what it is and saying hardware support is bad on windows is misleading.

            I just know from experience with obscure hardware. You can’t run Windows on your router and Windows 11 doesn’t support serial connections.
