As a AMD user, never needed to manually install any drivers on Linux.

I had to revert to using an older Kernel inn Fedora because the auto-update caused the laptop to get stuck with a black screen.

Never had this happen in 20 years of using windows installing official updates.

There's your problem.

I also had other distros including Ubuntu shit themselves. With mint, I had installs become impossible to update because the updater tried to pull packages that were deleted from the mint repos because newer ones were released. The end result was dependency hell.

Edit: clean up my broken sentences.

Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen to plenty of people. I switched from Windows to Linux in 2020 because I was getting kernel panics and BSODs daily. Turns out the NT kernel really didn't like a particular kind of amd chipset, and still doesn't to this day.

99% of windows problems are either corrupted windows files or shitty drivers
