I don’t think the term “Falls behind” is being used in a competitive entity vs entity in the way you read it as here.
I think it’s just being honest to the viewer in terms of hardware and software compatibility. Many go into the quest to swap to linux expecting that there will always be a replacement, and that’s simply not always true. Your biggest thing you should expect going into it is that it is not a 1:1 transition, your lifestyle and expectations the OS will provide will need to change and I think that was the general ideology that the author was trying to present.
Many move back to windows because they have incorrect expectations of what to expect out of transition because they either don’t like change, or don’t want to have to troubleshoot things that just worked on windows. Restructuring your life includes sacrifices that usually have to be made during the transition, and those sacrifices can include things that cost money to replace such as hardware peripherals. Some things are just misconfigurations and can be tweaked once you find out what to change. However, some things like the overall lack of support for an item you need to wait for support, replace that item completely which may or may not have an equivalent, or if you have the skillset required design your own interface for it.








Well, thats a shame. I have always preferred TP-Link due to their pricing and freedom of software/smart home integrations. This definitely puts a damper on that.
