Windows has pretty terrible hardware support IMO. Comparing the state of Linux Vs Windows on ARM/PowerPC/RISC-V, it's not even a contest.

I think there's a case to be made for the stability of Windows drivers (I should hope vendors don't half-ass support), but modern networking and storage drivers on Linux blow Microsoft's analogs out of the water.

Which consumer laptops are there out there with Power or RISC-V chips?

> PowerPC/RISC-V

The person you replied to didn't mention those and there aren't laptops with those CPUs anyway, so this is just goal post shifting nonsense.

I don't think that's true at all and you didn't link any evidence.
