I know you are joking but I don't get the longevity of this joke. I've been running Debian with XFCE for more than 12 years, on PCs custom-built and branded, and on laptops both of enterprise quality and retail junk. Heck, our entire B2B commerce business runs the same setup, with far fewer (read: zero) issues compared to when we were using Windows 98, 98SE, XP SP3, 7, Vista, and 10, at which point we declined Microsoft's telemetry and ads and forced OneDrive shenanigans and promptly switched everyone to Debian+XFCE.
99.9% of the time, modern Linux works out of the box everytime.
So I'd say it's on par with Windows versions, except I practically never need to download install drivers, or to face ads.
Maybe I'm on a different planet on which the year of the Linux desktop has arrived for longer than a decade.
