Is it misinformation that the driver is slower on linux? There’s no such thing in my book as ‘windows’ hardware. It should work as well everywhere on day one, or we should have the ability to make it do so.
Then you misunderstand how hardware, software, firmware, drivers, and operating systems have worked for the last few decades.
Good luck with that. A PC is more or less defined by specifications laid out in Microsoft's Windows Hardware Compatibility program and tested by their Windows Hardware Lab Kit. Before that, it was defined by IBM.
I've heard that ARM has had a standard for ARM-based servers, their Server Base System Architecture, but I've never seen any compliant hardware in the wild.
