I hope you're not talking about driver support or something 'cuz Linux is way ahead of Windows is in terms of drivers, both open source + proprietary. My week-old desktop PC is running Debian 8.1. If you mean game support, you have Steam for Linux and so far I've been able to play games not natively ported over to Linux yet using VMware + Win7 with no problems whatsoever. It's actually a hell of a sweet setup.

aye i meant games, you can use that setup but most people don't tend to really care too much and would rather just stick with windows. steam is now pushing for their steamos which is good, but majority of games nowadays are still windows based, only a few are able to support linux. i have a steam library of 200 games or so and only around 10 are actually playable on linux.

Pecon:
Can't deny that installing drivers on Linux is a huge pain. Windows is definitely my go-to desktop platform, but I love Linux for servers.

I've finally installed debian on my laptop
and it went relatively smoothly
the only remotely difficult part was the wifi driver, and that was just because I was following a subpar guide :(
but on the last try it was easy peasy lemon squeezy. just had to add a non-free repo to my sources list and apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
even the trackpad worked right from the start with no issue
so idk what is supposedly so bad about drivers on linux
I'm using Xfce, but with the LXDE terminal bc I like the font
