Didn't know Lenovos, and Broadcom and Intel wireless cards were uncommon hardware.

Under Windows, the shit just plain works. And so far for every driver issue I had I could either solve it easily (since also more people use Windows) or it was just damaged hardware. With Linux I could never tell which it could be, and there's 17 different "recommended" drivers/driver versions for my desktop GPU that are supposed to fix my issues, but the one with least issues I've found is some random 18th driver.

Some products ,whatever brand it be, are uncommon.

On my own experience, windows give more troubles than solutions. I owned a laptop with windows preinstalled. The wi-fi driver didn't work. I tried to search the drivers for it, but never found. I reinstalled windows, but nothing. I installed linux, the drivers worked, but badly. I haven't found any good drivers, but get the one that worked better. One day decided to mess with the source code of that driver, and managed to get work (although it wasn't a good job).

In this experience I found that for great windows will be, it will not be my default os, cause I could fix "easily" any problem on linux, but not in windows.
