let's just say yesterday my friend brought their PC to my house and spent an hour and a half debugging a graphics card issue (yes, it was Nvidia) before we could play Distance

Oh please, you say this as though no one has ever spent literal days debugging Windows quirks and issues. Windows updates especially have nuked many systems.

I haven't had windows refuse to turn on after a update yet, but linux broke after a update. Probably wouldn't have happened with a different distro, but can happen in both camps.

That was my point.

I'm sure if you're doing advanced things in Windows then you can mess it up fairly badly, but in my personal experience, it's never happened to me except in the laptop I had that literally fell apart.

I've helped so many people fix their Windows systems who barely know how to open their email. Computers are complex. No system is perfect (Windows less so IMO).
