"Everything just works" so long as your expectations around "everything" are essentially set by a desktop computer experience designed in 2005.
Linux on desktops is fine (except from a physical security standpoint), but primitive in terms of UX. And it's still dependent on Mozilla or Google for its browsing experience.
And if you want a portable computer (which by the way are demonstrably more secure in the face of physical tampering) you basically relegate yourself to terrible battery life, poor display support, dicey sleep support, and the fixes for these often compromise performance.
I really wish Linux users would stop softballing their desktop vendors and kernel maintainers so much. It's just not competitive!
