Sure. And I had encountered it - from just not registering, it being "there" despite being unplugged. And it randomizing windows on plugging in.
Using Linux always feels like fighting uphill battle with gremlins.

Pity, really.
Neither Weyland nor X.org support it. Amazing, another fork in the road.

That's different. This was post install update. Clean machine.
I ran into similar issue that bit Linus from. Linus Tech Tips.
I updated pop_OS! on fresh install and bang! Welcome console my old friend.
I remember Linux 15 years ago and it was even worse. But just because it got better doesn't mean it's good.
Linux's grass was a much darker green in the past, but wasn't black, neither back then, nor now.
> Multi monitor support
Just plugged a secondary monitor into one of my colleagues Linux box a week ago, a second desktop appeared three seconds later. Used two monitors for 6 years, until 6 years ago. It was working fine, then.

Don't have an HDR panel, can't say a word about it, but VLC handles HDR-SDR conversion just fine.
> DE bricking after update.
My current MacBook Pro bricked after an OS update, because of a bug in an OpenVPN client's OS integration. No, the tool is paid, and no, macOS has no OpenVPN client embedded in it. Maybe I shouldn't have installed a paid, premium OpenVPN client, who knows. Anyway, I wiped and reinstalled the thing as a result.
The symptom? A frozen progress bar under the Apple logo. No time remaining, no error, nothing. Can I have the logs please? "Haha, of course not, you peasant."
And I only wiped and re-installed a Linux distro once, 15 years ago, because I did something the tool warned me to not to do.
And Windows somehow succeeds to corrupt my older computer's BIOS after installing updates and reboots. Sometimes it hangs all fans blazing during the restart. No, it's not the battery. That also never happened with Linux.
So, I arguably have a much better experience with Linux w.r.t. macOS and Windows in the last 15 years.
