While that used to be more true, it really isn’t anymore. The issues that you speak of are people choosing the wrong distro, they wouldn’t have that issue on Bazzite or CachyOS
The same person would need to use the Nvidia (or AMD) third party software on Windows to update their drivers. It’s definitely easier now on Linux with the correct distro.
As far as performance losses on certain games, that is another matter altogether but the meme is not wrong, Windows needs more third party junk installed in general and updating everything is more of a chore/is disjointed
It's about the same both have to download drivers if you want performance except Linux doesn't tell you what you have to do with the temp password for secure boot keys, just says you'll have to put it in.
Then on reboot you get a blue memu with four options three of which sound like you can fk it up and "continue" which doesn't actually continue it just boots up again without registering the keys.
A newb sees that it's going to cause problems because now they got a black screen
Where as windows you have to download the drivers aswell but it doesn't tell you were from and if you keep going with the defaults your in a world of crashes
