I use Ctrl, Alt for applications, Super for the os/windowing. I hated MacOS which mixed these things. Luckily X.org let's you do whatever you like, sometimes it's just harder to configure. But I like it as it is.
urxvt, bspwm, sxhkd, and many small utilities that I built my desktop with. It's hard to reproduce the same setup.
You listed malwares. Nvidia works tho.
Most of the time a popular distro just works, your special case did not. You should find the root cause, and report it. I'm sure windows is not bug free.
And also better than MacOS!
Linux itself is not the problem here. Which DE is it? Does it use X.org or wayland? If you disable the login manager, do the screens work in TTY right after the boot? If you use X.org, Sometimes X.org drivers needs to be configured, Some OSes come with X.org configs like Arch. So in Arch you usually just have to install the packages you need. If you use Wayland, try X.org.
Did you try windows and Linux on the same machine? Hardware limitation can cause such issues. But if it works with Windows but not with Linux then it's not that.
Windows may use worse quality output, e.g. different refresh rate, different color profile to fit into the hardware bottleneck. You can also experiment with these.
USB controller kernel driver could also interfere in theory, you can try different kernel versions.
Multiple GPU setups have also many options that you can play with.
I hope it helps.
The world is in chaos
AOSP is a huge set of unknown. Despite it's Linux, it's not like my Arch where I can contribute to the OS. There are arbitrary security measures against the user protecting the device maker, not the user. Where's my sudo command, where's my terminal?
We also had a hard time finding the route. There are narrow paths not shown in the map.
I mean.. It's already over-specified compared to others: "sex, gender or sexual orientation". It'd be equally right to criticize religion for why don't they write "belief, spiritualism, religion", and to include identity, and expression.
They should just write "sex stuff", and everyone is happy.
The problem is not the tool. It's the inability to use the tool without a third party provider.
