I have noticed a little flickering on my Lumia 950 that runs Windows 10, but I'm ready to give a pass to 5 years old hardware running an experimental build of ARM64 Windows.
Maybe we have different hardware? I'm mostly using Lenovo laptops with one Microsoft and one Dells tablet.

You mean driver updates? It depends on your Windows Update settings.
If you mean the audio getting rerouted, I like that when I plug a new device it gets the audio sink priority without fiddling.
And I like I can control that behavior with AutoHotKey scripts to do precisely what I want if I need to.

That is an absolutely fair comment! I'm just surprised linux geeks especially in a specific age group (over 25) seem to believe Windows is evil and anyone using it must not be a techie / must have a horrible experience and would find immediate enlightenment and satisfaction if installing Ubuntu.
All kind of nuance seems to be lost when you explain that it works fine for you, and give practical examples of advanced things that would be extremely complicated and sometimes totally impossible to do in Linux
