    In windows you can't fix it. You leave it there. In linux you can fix, you may try to fix it.

    Also the real issue to fix must be at install time for drivers. You wouldn't face that in windows since the devices are preinstalled and configured by manufacturer. If something doesn't work on windows it would be called manufacturer's fault and not windows' fault, so manufacturers make sure its working correctly

    You're talking about Mac, if something is wrong there like an app being too old, you can't do anything about it.

    Windows allows you to mold it to make it do what you like, but usually the default setup is pretty decent. Even if it can be the manufacturers fault, you can still install older versions of drivers, install open source third party drivers, or compile your own if you are so inclined.

    The database that comes with Windows is to make it easy for the user, so they don't have to go around searching for drivers when they attach a new device. Most of the time it works flawless.

    Windows allows, yes. But its difficult imo. Its not open and configurable so you have to do hacks if you want to place taskbar vertical or somethin. Then it becomes unstable and i guess that has a chance to get reverted with an update

    But I don't need anything to be fixed.... It just works (for the easy things I need it to do)

    It already just works in linux. But what people constantly want to "fix" is not fixable in windows. If you don't need that, you still can use linux without so called "fixing"
