about once a decade i get this morbid curiosity to install some relatively vanilla linux distro on my windows desktop (as opposed to WSL or remote AWS boxes, where i normally encounter it). i feel it rising again… should i cave… or will i accidentally reformat my hdd/waste days

I definitely have had to futz more than i would have liked on Ubuntu on my Thinkpad, but my latest GPU related breakage happened when windows auto updated the driver, but forgot to update the control panel shell extension, causing a black screen post login

My going hypothesis for a decade or so has been that Linux will never actually get more reliable drivers, but Windows will continue to get less reliable drivers, so sometime around 2030 Linux will be equivalently stable on average without ever having improved :(
