I abandoned Windows for a variety of reasons and while I find Linux better in many ways, the graphics and compositing situation is a bummer. To add another example, I was trying to do a screen recording the other day and it was dropping frames like crazy. I don't know who to blame, whether it's Gnome, or Wayland, or OBS, or Nvidia. But the point is my confidence in the entire ecosystem is low. I have plenty of bad things to say about Microsoft, but I think their track record is quite good when it comes to making low latency input and graphics "just work."
I know what you mean about "just works".
With OBS recordings (not streaming) on Linux I occasionally get situations where short but heavy disk or network I/O will cause my webcam's video to get out of sync with my microphone (separate mic from the webcam). This makes it look like my lips are way out of sync with the video. It's something I haven't been able to track down as there's no errors or side effects posted in journald logs.
This is using vanilla Arch with niri. It happens pretty often and I fix it by splitting the audio and video in my editing tool and then shifting the audio track over half a second or so.
I recorded over 1,000 videos on Windows with the same hardware and the above never happened once.
