What’s the “plenty of stuff that doesn’t work”? And what audio/video issues are you having? Pipewire is miles better than anything Windows can conjure up in latency, quality, and customization. Video is literally just rendering pixels, which works with web browsers, and local video players (mpv and vlc). The only valid complaint is [Windows] software availability.
Audio cracking and popping, sound not working at all, flickering at certain resolutions, not rendering faces properly, some software won't load at all, some linux apps don't work correctly, USB ports not working, wireless dongles not working, etc. I'm not going to bore anyone with the full list. I mean, I can tell you're waiting to pin the blame on me or say something along the lines of "all you have to do is..." and that's really disingenuous. Either Linux "just works" or it doesn't. And even as a fan and long-time user...it doesn't. Not like Windows, anyway.
