> Linux isn't exactly reliable either... I'm sorry but that OS is barely capable of outputting a stable HDMI signal, god help you if you are on a laptop with external monitor.
It just just works for me, and has just worked with every laptop I have had in the last 15 years. My kids and I have several Linux installs and the only one with HDMI output issues is a cheap ARM tablet that is sold as a device for early adopters.
> For 3 computers, 2 laptops, I've never _not_ had display bugs/oddities/issues. System upgrades always make me nervous because there is a very real chance of something getting fucked up and my screen staying black the next time it boots, having to go into a TTY, and manually fixing stuff up or booting the previous version that was still saved in GRUB.
At least that number of machines (I do not know whether you mean three or five in total) for the last 20+ years and can recall one such issue.
