Yup, it's free -- as in beer too!

You might want to lear to distinguish between one personal experience (as
the one above) and overgeneralized statements (the Wintrolls' favourite).
Most of the Linux installations I perform "just work" too -- completely.
In a few percent of installations (mostly laptops) I encounter mild
problems, such as wireless not working out-of-the-box and requiring
ndiswrapper with Windows drivers; and oh, my own EeePC 1000H has a webcam
that doesn't work. Apparently, I can download and compile working drivers,
but I've been too lazy to spend even those five minutes or so on a webcam
I'm not likely to ever use.
But just to annoy you: "Linux is perfect! Everything simply works! Always!
(quite unlike Windows)"
