But, regardless of that, I think HP has the worst hardware even in Windows. This is my third HP printer trying to use specifically for the scanner and I have had failure even in Windows. So, I really don't care about opensource anymore because it's only the most pathetic companies entertaining it. Their products are so horrible, they are trying to get an edge, I guess. HP products are among the worst and their laptops also have a reputation for being garbage. The HP software has remained awful. So, you are right in the respect that some of these companies even have ridiculous software and general operation in Windows.
But, as far as drivers go, you must not install drivers often because drivers installs in Windows is often horrible. The Linux install is usually better but only if you have experience. The noob will be lost. Fortunately, there's a free support group for that - forums.
