@MJBrune@d3Xt3r Overall I understand your opinion and based on your needs Windows is probably the best solution.
I do however, disagree with the statement about the Linux community. Firstly, if a device doesnt work "out of the box", the manufacturer is able to provide a driver for their device, or submit the driver directly to the kernal via a merge request so that the "out of the box" scenario does work.
When that hasn't happened the community WILL help you, this help is NOT a "flaw"!
