Windows has a better initial setup. Often, when installing a new distro I gotta spend a couple of hours installing, troubleshooting and customizing what I need on Linux (even on beginner distros) while on Windows, you just install it, download a couple of apps from the web and restart to catch up on updates.
Boot every day and expect everything to just work
Plug a random device in and it just works
I have more luck with Linux than windows on this one. My windows installs end up way more fucked from trying to bring in random shitty device drivers and shit whereas most Linux drivers are built into the kernel. Now sometimes you're just out of luck on Linux and there just isn't a driver but I haven't had that happen in like a decade for me.

Install stuff without asking and then force reboot?
