You know what? The equivalent of X11 in windows may be full of cruft, technical debt, poorly thought out / "unelegant" design decisions... But it fucking works. I'm sorry, but I have other things to do than dealing with the constant churn of Linux desktop software.
It's funny because it's the opposite.
On Windows, you can install and update the graphics drivers without restarting, and it can ever seamlessly recover from a GPU crash.
On Linux, you need to update the whole kernel, and if the GPU or the driver crashes, you'll kernel panic.
On the compositor side, on Windows you can easily have multimonitor setups with different fractional DPIs, different refresh rates (including variable refresh rate), mix of HDR and SDR, applications without vsync and so on. On linux, even single monitor HDR is unsupported.
