Don't get me started on Linux and GPUs... Getting a laptop with dGPU to actually use both iGPU and dGPU and be able to switch between them is such a pain under Linux. Under Windows it's as easy as just installing Windows. If you are really eager, you'd also install a driver directly from the GPU manufacturer and not just grab the one from Windows Update. And configuring the switching is super easy as well.

At least a year ago when I tried to set this up the last time, that was ~10h of work to get it working semi-decently on Linux.

That's the point where the cost-benefit ratio goes out the window.
