Boot every day and expect everything to just work

I have more luck with Linux than windows on this one. My windows installs end up way more fucked from trying to bring in random shitty device drivers and shit whereas most Linux drivers are built into the kernel. Now sometimes you're just out of luck on Linux and there just isn't a driver but I haven't had that happen in like a decade for me.
