Had the same experience when installing Win 11 from USB boot medium. Wifi and ethernet didn’t work. About 8 drivers missing. Never had that with any Linux distro. The difference is that normally MS users get their systems preinstalled.
They don’t even know about the MS driver issues. And the admins installing It are saying no big difference in general, depends on hardware chosen.
If you want Linux you first have to learn how to install an OS like an admin and how to get rid of the damn MS Anti-Linux boot prevention, which is always hidden in different menus on every fucking mainboard.
Sorry, Linux used to be so easy to install a few years ago. You still can be quite lucky if you buy a PC without any OS installed, than the UEFI settings are most of the time quite friendly.
Or buy a preinstalled Linux machine like most MS fanboys do. Or what about an install party at the local Linux User Group?
Interesting question. Dell and Lenovo are shipping to many Countries.
I don’t know about Framework, System 76, Tuxedo, Purism, Nova. Yes could be an issue, would be interesting to research some statistics about this, but I have no time.
Then the users really would have to learn installing and changing UEFI settings by themselves. Organizing in local Linux User Groups is I think the best
idea. Or why not MS User Groups but I don’t plan to join these.

I use Debian, Cachy and Parabola BTW
I’m pretty sure laptops without an OS or with Linux pre-installed aren’t available in most countries
