- Thinking on going back to linux sooo bad. lol
  
  I recently had a driver issue that prevented my Linux from booting. It was still less frustrating to deal with than Windows in general.
  (The solution was literally one button press: In the menu to select what to boot, I pressed "down" in order to load the previous kernel version and work with that until a patch was available. Everything worked just fine.)
