I've also had computers with nvidia, amd (even back when it was still ATI) and intel gpu's, at least since 2006, and can't remember ever having an issue like this.
Not saying it's not an issue, but there is such an incredible amount of hardware configurations that linux supports, so it's a bit weird to say that "linux" in general has suffered a bug like this.
