Yeah, you're just trolling now. Linux desktops get installed, then work, and just keep working. I've had a Linux Desktop for over 20 years now, I've supported Linux and windows desktops for a similar amount of time and I can easily tell you you're full of shit.
Yes, Linux has issues like everything, but nothing has issues like a Microsoft windows desktop.
It's the windows machines that are always at risk for the next virus or shit, it's the windows machine where next up the virus scanner makes the machine unstable and un dependable. It's the windows machine where half the shit always works, well, half.
Many apps? Yeah sure dude, "Linux doesn't have many apps." Is one of those vague "I have shit idea what I'm talking about"statements
"Many devices" 20 years of Linux and I can tell you that Linux has more devices supportrd out of the box than windows. Yes, there may be some niche hardware that isn't supported but if you really need that, ask the vendor.
