I'm thinking of moving to #ubuntu because I'm tired of Windows updates breaking basic hardware support, e.g. wifi disconnects, USB devices not working, touchpad crashing. Honest #linux users: would I have similar issues with Linux?

I'm afraid there things would be even worse because fewer people use it and it will be harder to find solutions.

@koos Do it. Made the move a couple of years back and never looked back. Hardware support is very good, especially if you use #Ubuntu and don't need the absolute newest gadget. Software will be the biggest change, but you can still run Windows in a VM if you really need something specific.
@Modern_Industrial yeah that's a good point. I still use a lot of adobe software and I'm not exactly charmed by the stuff that runs natively on Linux.
