My personal record is 11 months on Mint. I have also used Ubuntu, Fedora and (a long time ago) SUSE. But as you say, sooner or later something comes up that forces me to go back to Windows. Things like poor GPU performance for certain applications (like Obsidian for example) or GRUB acting up or WLAN/GPU drivers suddenly not working after a kernel upgrade and so on.

Would you mind sharing your Win10 setup? I use it too, but it's a stock version with just some basic cleanup.

Mine's also almost stock, the only changes being tracking and startup menu/taskbar garbage disabled.

For the record, I've never had a WLAN issue in 3 years of Linux (Ubuntu and then openSUSE). I can't attest to GPU as I don't have a dedicated GPU though.

GRUB has also been quite the happy camper in my experience (at least if you don't go mucking about with config files).

How dare you not have a problem in a discussion on Linux. (Not just there yet :)
