Well my Linux journey was even more adventurous then this. First time I tried Linux was around late 90s. The included driver for my ati on board gpu did create some artifacts and it was suggested to use the default svga one. The second time was in the early 2000s. There I was playing around with wine until it crashed one day and wiped my whole hard drive (sadly this was before I had a cd writing device, so lots of data gone :(). The third time, I can't really remember, but I wasn't really amazed (must be late 2000s). The fourth time (must be around 2010-ish, I dunno), I finally made it for a few years after getting a 64 bit computer with more then 4 GB of RAM. Was using Windows XP (32 bit) and decided that instead of using Windows 7, I might try Ubuntu. Worked well, until it didn't. For some reason, Linux was having problems with the chipset on my mainboard (a nvidia one) and the dvd drive wasn't working. There were regular patches for the kernel (which didn't get included in the kernel for some reason, so I had to compile my own kernel). When that stopped working, I put my dvd drive into a Windows machine and it started working again (even on the linux machine) until it stopped working again. That was when I switched to Windows 7 (64 bit) and I am now on Windows 10, sadly with a HTC Vive Pro 2 headset which seems to be unsupported on Linux. :(
