@dwmatiz I have # at work. It does _not_ "just work". I have already spent almost an hour trying to configure stuff so it works, but the laptop still stops outputting audio when the screen goes blank, goes to sleep when the lid is closed (despite power configuration which I've quadruplechecked!) etc. etc.

These are problems I have never had with GNU/Linux. There _are_ issues of course with !fs but those we can fix. You can't fix proprietary software. Or maybe you can suggest solutions, but then you might have to buy a new license to receive the update.
