GPU drivers are legit easier on Linux than they are on windows at this point.

I get ~weekly crashes using an Nvidia card with arch/hyprland, but honestly it's less problematic for me to deal with than windows updates. I can format and rebuild my machine from scratch in less time than windows takes to download and perform an update.

Flawless experience on non-nvidia hardware though.

That's arch/hyprland though. You're even making it harder for yourself than it needs to be.

That's understating it. There's no amount of skill that will render that setup stable - it's baked into the way those projects are managed.

That's why I keep using Gentoo and X11 to handle my three GPU setup. An Intel iGPU, an AMD dGPU on the same package as the Intel CPU and a RTX 4060 Ti eGPU connected through Thunderbolt.

Only have issues with it on my machine with an Nvidia card. Understand that it can be unstable and accept that when it happens - but with AMD/integrated graphics I don't have the same problem.

Either way, only serves to further the point that Linux is in a pretty good place and the experience should only be better on more stable options.

I don't have that problem with Arch+COSMIC, which has the tiling you get with Hyprland but without the overly complex configuration. You can also switch to floating windows with one button if needed.

I haven't had any issues with NVidia's on the latest machine I built (like nothing).

It's just an optional update whenever I remember to check for one.
