I get ~weekly crashes using an Nvidia card with arch/hyprland, but honestly it's less problematic for me to deal with than windows updates. I can format and rebuild my machine from scratch in less time than windows takes to download and perform an update.
Flawless experience on non-nvidia hardware though.
Only have issues with it on my machine with an Nvidia card. Understand that it can be unstable and accept that when it happens - but with AMD/integrated graphics I don't have the same problem.
Either way, only serves to further the point that Linux is in a pretty good place and the experience should only be better on more stable options.
I don't have that problem with Arch+COSMIC, which has the tiling you get with Hyprland but without the overly complex configuration. You can also switch to floating windows with one button if needed.

That's arch/hyprland though. You're even making it harder for yourself than it needs to be.
That's understating it. There's no amount of skill that will render that setup stable - it's baked into the way those projects are managed.

I haven't had any issues with NVidia's on the latest machine I built (like nothing).
It's just an optional update whenever I remember to check for one.
