This is how I would describe my experience when running a Linux distribution on a corporate laptop that was pre-configured for me to work properly. But it has yet to ever be my experience on a personally-maintained Linux laptop. And anecdotally, my coworkers who are running Linux still seem to be sinking time into stuff like "ugh, sorry, can't get my microphone working today" type stuff.

I love Linux and I'm glad so many people are happy with their setups, but it just hasn't worked flawlessly enough for me over the years.

Note: I'm specifically talking about laptops here. It has worked great for me as a mostly headless workstation and of course as a server.
