Linux does support more CPU architecture (x86 Arm PowerPC RISC) while Windows only support x86 and some Arm CPU so technically Linux support more CPU but Windows does support more GPU and Plug and Play devices (controller, external sound card…)
I would probably rephrase it as “external plug ‘n’ play devices supporting Windows”. You can be fairly certain Microsoft wasn’t the one doing the work.
I think game controllers, external sound card or external Ethernet they all use the same generic driver that Microsoft provide to them, and those devices can add their own functionality on top, but Linux can’t have that driver because it’s MS property

Windows 11 inherently does not support my CPU because of their fake secure boot requirement. You have to have UEFI.
Rufus USB can take care of that for you
I’m too scared to install it just for it to decide to stop working in the future.
It just removes the pre check I think. After that you’re good just as normal
Sure, but if they ever tweak the check the wrong way, you’re right back to hosed
I can’t really imagine them checking once it is installed but who fucking knows lol.

You’d be surprised how many external sound cards will not function without their official driver, despite being class compliant on mac/linux.
Even with x86 only, Linux supports more CPUs. For example, the Ryzen 5 1500x in my old PC isn’t supported by Windows 11.
