Far easier to do too. I did one of each last month and there's no question that the Windows setup experience is terrible in comparison.

The software and hardware I'm using won't work on Linux.

File the required issues with those manufacturers then. Support for Linux is trivially easy to add compared to Microsoft: the kernel sources and stuff to create your modules are right there.

That works until they explicitly say they won’t support Linux, eg. Adobe, Bungie, GoXLR, etc

Plenty of companies know that it’s trivial to implement. They just simply do not care, nor will they ever care.
