I'm 100% positive that for every single instance of Linux having some driver issue, I can find 10 times the amount of issues on Windows through a simple google search.

Multi-monitor setups not working on windows 10:

So yeah we can go on all day about the driver issues in Linux or we can go on all decade about the driver problems on Windows.

I my self bought a brand new laptop from dell with Windows 10, the laptop would not wake from sleep the first time I opened the lid, I had to close it again and re-open it every time. When it did wake up the wifi wouldn't work.

Driver issues are a common occurrence on Windows and in my experience more common on Windows than Linux.

No usually when you buy a laptop, it pretty much works out of the box. Now there might be some smaller compatibility issues but not some core feature simply not working like this.
