That is true in my experience, sooner or later you are going to run into a silly driver related problem with linux. Right now I'm having problems with the integrated Intel soundcard in my laptop. Using Xubuntu 10.10/Fedora 16 there never was any problem with it, ever since then it sometimes won't output to the speakers but I always get sound on the headphone jack. But it's mostly those peripheral things at least for me, the system as whole usually works pretty well. Thing is, Linux is much more enjoyable to use for software development and deployment, development on Windows makes me feel like a second class citizen, the OS to me feels much more oriented towards the exclusive consumer, especially now with the new (metro) tablet like user interface.
