I’m running Windows ARM just fine with parallels on my M1 MBP. Haven’t had any issues, even weird legacy software that needs serial drivers works fine. MS did a great job with the ARM version of Windows.

When have I bitched about Linux? I’ve had a great experience with Mint, Debian, and Ubuntu. I use Linux, Windows and MacOS on a regular basis.

Some people just like to complain. Can’t fix that.

There are generic printer drivers that work fine on windows too. You generally don’t need to get the manufacturers bloated driver/utility/update/subscription package. Also that’s not really the OS’ fault, it’s the shitty printer vendors.
