Are you implying that because some people on each platform have had
problems, that the platforms are equivalent in their frustration
level? (Or that since people have had great experiences on each, that
they are equally great?)
I don't buy that specific argument or its general form. Among Linux
people that I meet, I hear far fewer complaints and frustrations than
for Windows. For Mac, I hear the least of all.
Regarding all the strange issues you're having, I can't offer much
advice because Linux hasn't given me the same kinds of problems. Maybe
you could try a different distro. Or, recalling my desktop Linux days,
find a video card that's current (but not brand new) that's explicitly
supported *and* that people are saying good things about online ("My X
video card runs great on Y Linux.") and then buy it (whew). That
solved my desktop problems with Linux when I was using it outside of
servers.
