Have you heard about Blue Screen syndrome?

This is what got me to switch to Linux (arch btw). I was getting blue/green screens 1-2x a week and it almost always ruined a gaming experience.

Now I can bork my system during an update, but at least I can game smoothly. My system hasn't crashed once while in the middle of something (I have, however, fucked up my system post update and without a Time shift backup ready to go which merited a full reinstall - but it's been a good learning experience overall)
