on Windows you can typically expect to plug in a device and have the basic functions work, have to download a driver to have full functionality, and that's a pretty consistent experience. On Linux, it's hit or miss. Sometimes you plug it in and get full functionality, sometimes you get basic functionality and there is a way to gain full functionality, sometimes there isn't, sometimes you plug it in and it doesn't work and there is a way to get it to work, and sometimes there isn't a way to get it to work short of making the drivers yourself.

On average i would say the end result between the two is comparable if slightly favouring windows
