Let’s just say that Linux invites tinkering, and there are consequences. If you install a mainstream (fedora), reliable (fedora) distro, and just do normal stuff, it’s unlikely you’ll encounter more issues than Windows. Or even a tenth of the issues.
For me, the difference between Windows and Linux is that when I encounter a weird issue on Windows, I might decide to give up, while on Linux, I can always dig deeper if I have enough time
I have a pair of old-ish but expensive Sony bluetooth over-the-ear headphones. On Windows, their microphone doesn’t work. I’ve searched the web and apparently, that’s just it, nothing I can do.

Fedora without codecs? That’s the reason I don’t suggest it to normal users.
Oh no, they have to run
sudo dnf group install multimediaonce in the terminal!And add RPM Fusion. Which could give errors when updating to a new major release.
