ReviOS for the Windows user. It's not a OS, but a collection of scripts which convert Windows in what it should have been.

If you want some irony, on a recent Ubuntu install I was able to access WiFi out of the box but the small windoze dual boot partition refused to connect to a WiFi 6 router. Tried upgrading driver, downgrading drivers, nothing... The computer came shipped with windows 10.
Isn't the main problem that most of them are proprietary, so they can't be shipped automatically if you want to avoid shipping a distro with proprietary software?

wifi drivers are fine nowadays
still have issues with some webcams tho
Printer are worse. try to get a decade old brother to print more than a half page without completely freezing and needing a hard restart. driver is unmaintained unfortunately.
on Windows the printer works perfect though. which makes me quite unhappy :|
wifi on the other hand is not a problem i can remember. even on a 15 year old laptop, the AUR has a driver that it extracts from a ancient .deb and then patches it to make it work with modern kernels. lovely.
It's the newer Wi-Fi chips that have issues, those for which drivers aren't yet released. There always seems to be a year-long delay between the next gen laptops being released and the wifi drivers for them.
What about cups, they have no driver for that printer there?
I have a LaserJet 1000, 20+ years old, only works Linux and Windows x86 😂... so I just set up a peint server and shared it 🤷.
