Somehow after installing clean and using the system for less than a day I got into a cycle of BSoDs (maybe caused by a buggy RAID driver?). This required a reinstall.
Sometimes my monitors go blank and won't come back on. I still can't get a second external monitor working. I had trouble with the installers for various MS products, which produced completely useless error messages (e.g. unclickable URLs in dialog boxes that, when typed in, redirect to a generic marketing page). The standard process for finding and installing third-party utilities is a bad joke.
My point isn't about these specific problems, it's that the idea that Linux is uniquely flakey and unsatisfactory won't fly.
(I know the hardware is OK because I was using it with Linux and no problems a month ago.)
