"Screen of death" in Windows? I haven't heard of one of those in over a decade.

I've had one, although it was due to a vendor releasing inconsistent driver updates.

Incidentally, I can now honestly say I've had more driver issues with Windows than Linux.

I spent years (maybe a decade) without seeing them in the Windows 7 and early 10 era, but in the last few years I have them sometimes. Many seem Nvidia-related, but I also remember some due to a bad update that broke things in some laptops.
