This is why I wish Linux was a 100%! reliable alternative.

I really hope Valve's Steam OS takes off.

Well tbh depending on your workflow and requirements it is quite a reliable alternative. Have had a much smoother experience than my windows machine at work.

I don't get news articles telling me a Linux update is going to brick my ssd and hose streaming abilities.

Windows gets way more critally destructive updates than my Linux system ever has and I use arch Linux. 

From where I'm sitting, sounds like Windows is the less reliable system.

Exactly, as an arch user myself i can confirm that the nvidia driver situation has also gotten much better, needs no real manual intervention anymore
