With the stock installer? Not really. However, technically the installer itself is a very, very minimal windows. Just open up a cmd (with Ctrl + F12 or smth I believe) and you can open notepad from there, meaning you have a graphical file "manager". And from there you can do things such as executing BIOS installers, which will actually work - even though the WM looks pretty weird, you will be able to use very simple programs just fine - such as cmd, or the Intel BIOS installer.

Windows does not really have a version afaik, so I just update it every few months. Debian live is just for visually editing/moving partition in complex setups, and I can fix my Arch install with an installer/live iso that's months old. It's just that I don't want multiple USB-Sticks, and need multiple ISOs at the same time (eg. Arch and debian live for rescuing my installs, or Win 10/11 for new Installs for more tech illiterate people - Win 10 is the "just functions" thing for my father, when we need a laptop for proprietary laptops, and 11 is for other people who need something set up. Additionally, I use Windows' installer environment to update my Laptops, servers and workstations BIOS.)

Different Linux distros and Windows. Because I regularly need them.

NVidia borks my installation sometimes. Then my stupidity to choose the non-dkms beta driver from the AUR. But all in all, my non-NVidia-devices (server, workstation and laptop) run fine on arch testing, updated every time I use one of those devices.

Well in the time until Windows rebooted 15 times Windows 12 will be out.

Even that looks and probably IS better than Windows is, was, or ever will be.

Not including Pascal btw. And considering how buggy my PC (NVidia) is compared to my Laptop (HD Intel), I will still use AMD. Also because it will take years until the open source driver will have reached the stability, integrity and quality the AMD driver has due to contributions of Linux people.

Sounds like Windows.

So Meet/Hangout does not work on Firefox at all? (In case the zero users who use Meet/Hangout see this)

Windows 10, but before Windows 11 was even leaked I believe.

It's a Dell Latitude 5420, with a Broadcom Corp. 58200. Per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Dell#Latitude, the 5420 is supported with libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom. And of course, I use Arch btw.
