FWIW my graphics drivers crashes on Ubuntu always recover. Even a complete GPU hang. It sees the driver is hung and restarts it causing a few seconds of minor glitching.

Configuring X is not for the faint of heart, but in Unity it is basically magical and deals with HiDPI displays, etc. just fine. Feature for feature it is very similar to Win or Mac on the display and GPU driver front. The total package still feels rougher around the edges, but it is still good.

My only issue with configuring X is that 'load "glx"' will not fetch the correct libglx.so with nvidia drivers loaded unless you tell it to go looking in /usr/lib/nvidia-[VERSION]/ :| took me a very very long time to get GLX working on my setup.
