I think it depends on the user and hardware. Many years ago I had a laptop with an AMD GPU and CPU, it was new like 1 year old when AMD drop support for the driver. If I wanted decent compositing on Linux I had to stay with an older kernel and Xorg version so I used old Ubuntu LTSes and debian at that time. And i decided to never use AMD, I got an Intel+NVIDIA PC, but now it seems NVIDIA is the one with shit drivers, and I don't change my hardware often so I will continue using my GTX-970 as many years it will hold.

Many years ago is not the same in Linux in general. Try it now. I didn't have those issues in more than a decade. Everything worked out of the box
