Actual hardware support in Windows is a joke, and it's only often-crap OEM drivers working most of the time that keeps you from realizing this.

To clarify: Windows 10 won't boot. It BSOD's with "BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO". This is after Automatic Repair fails & offers Advanced options, that it lets me choose "Reset this PC."

Okay, Microsoft, what exactly is the point of offering a "Cloud download" option to the "Reset this PC" feature in the Advanced Startup Options menu, the last recovery option remaining for my PC repair customer, WITHOUT EVEN PRETENDING TO OFFER WIFI AS A NETWORK CONNECTION CHOICE?

Do you have any idea how rare ethernet ports are on laptops & tablets? Not even your own branded laptops & tablets have one to share between them all!

This crap is why I haven't used Windows at home since '02.

I have the best ISP customers. Today I did what the telco monopoly made my customer wait 2 weeks to fail doing, and they tipped me $100 USD bill.

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

LB: I don't trust a cell phone's airplane mode to be enough to keep itself quiet when a gov's highest level alerts come in. I do, however, trust this mode to be enough:
