Only problem I have with Linux is it not working on my hardware. Windows of course works fine. So many stories of a Thinkpad T480 and Linux being such a dream, until you try it and it doesn’t work.
OH! And the constant nagging for a password, literally to do anything at all. Open a browser, enter password. Install an app, enter a password. Uninstall an app, enter a password. Wake from sleep, enter a password. I thought windows was bad, I had no idea how much better it was until I tried Linux.
It mostly works. I have it set to dual boot and spend more time in Linux than in windows, forcing myself to use it. I also have a desktop that I use for windows on.
You are definitely doing something wrong. Does it really ask for a password to open a browser? Windows always asks for a password for all that other stuff if you’re not using an administrative account, which is supposed to happen. Unless you’re fine with anyone that happens to get access to your computer being able to install/uninstall stuff.

Wait, does it not work on your hardware, or are you using it frequently enough to be bothered by passwords?

Yes it does. I’ve never had to enter a password to uninstall anything from Windows before.
It could be the browser’s password manager triggering the system keyring to unlock.
