Haven't been using linux as long as you, more like 10-15 years, but I've noticed during that time that the effort required to get a graphics device working has shrunk significantly (and I don't attribute that to an increase in my knowledge). I definitely use linux primarily for other stuff these days, though, so it's not often I'm setting up a new graphics card with linux anymore.
