I think its very dependent on hardware.
The worst my family have had was an MS surface running a rolling release distro because it was the only way to get the touchscreen working which failed at a bad time. Now switched to a more stable distro and looks OK.
On the other hand most laptops and all desktops have been trouble free. Even running a rolling release distro (Manjaro) has been fine on a laptop that was designed for Linux (and sold with Linux preinstalled).
