Your anecodote is not good because it doesn't jive with a very high volume of other anecdotes that can be seen on the Internet. So maybe take a look around? Anyway, for my own anecdote - I have a five year old Dell XPS L502X that has an Optimus style video card in it - Windows 7, 8 and 10 run beautifully on it with no drivers problems. Meanwhile, any Linux distro I've tried to install directly on the hardware just barfs itself.
