No. Windows has these "issues" if you use a diverse-enough set of apps, and there are quite-a-few things it won't let you tweak without paid or uNtRuSteD apps that Linux will. The difference is that Linux includes more diverse apps by default, and doesn't hide them away very well.

Personally, I love a bit of inconsistency, and Windows resides on my laptop because I'm more concerned with getting Linux onto my phone these days.

I just spent $200 on eBay for a OnePlus 6T (which is the newest phone supported by postmarketOS). First impressions: it is buggy as all hell and running what is essentially a desktop Linux OS on a 5 inch touchscreen does not work as well as I had hoped it would, but it is open source and it does kind of work, and I'm hoping with a lot more experimentation I can get it to kind of work slightly better
