I had an annoying problem last weekend trying to get ray tracing enabled in a video game. After searching around I found out that a my graphics driver doesn't auto update and the "windows is up to date" message is a lie. Turns out I was on win10-1803 instead of 1809 and had to download a separate *.exe to upgrade. These types of problems don't happen with a modern (sane) package manager.
There's also a few other problems with windows that stop me from thinking it's great: no pseudoterminal, rigid window manager, registry nightmares, possibly more.

They just update slowly, you'll get the latest long-term driver from your device manufacturer / OEM, -- you won't instantly get things like "nVidia Game Ready Drivers, now with experimental ray-tracing" that come out every two weeks or so.
