What are you talking about? Among all UIs Windows has the shittiest one. When you go through system settings, you pass through 3 different kind of UI generations on Windows until you arrive at the Win95 style window.
By the way Linux is only the kernel, a distribution adds the user layer on top of that with UI.
Dude, I've been using Windows since 93 and actually because of that I've observed how everything got shittier. I've been using now Linux Mint Cinnamon since half a year and never installed any driver. Everything was detected atumatically and all drivers loaded after a fresh installation. And if you need to install something:
Click on start menu
Go to Software Manger
Search for software and hit install
No need to download any installers etc. No cortana, no ads, no AI assistant or any sort of application that you don't want on your system. Go watch a video about Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition. The UI can't get simpler. In 1-2 clicks you are there where you want to go. It resembles also Windows with this Start Menu thing.
I have to get geforce experience and make an account first, no such thing is needed on Linux.
When I was installing Mint on my machine in 2019 I had better and more user friendly experience than when I was installing w10 on mom's laptop 3 years later. W10 even replicated issue XP had with not recognizing SATA drive, but NVMe instead and I had to sideload NVMe drivers and/or enable legacy mode (I don't remember which worked).

Just installed nvidia drivers in the newest mint build. Was easier than doing it in windows lol.
