But there is one big downside: many of the newest hardware out there are NOT supported by Linux drivers. Besides, I would not be surprised that Microsoft may offer very generous pricing on even a new install copy of Windows 10 Home and Professional editions, and that could hurt the chances of desktop Linux.

If price is an issue—and it typically is not—MS cannot compete with Linux no matter what price point they arrive at.

many of the newest hardware out there are NOT supported by Linux drivers. A typical claim that I've heard quite often, but not really seen backed up. Even the newest GPUs from nvidia are supported almost immediately by Linux.

That's the cool part of an open market system. You use windoze and I'll keep using linux and everybody is happy.
Personally, I avoid bleeding edge hardware, so your issue doesn't matter much, if at all, to me.
