If that's your anecdote, here's mine: _Every_ time I install Windows I need some third party driver just to make graphics and networking go. Then I need third party software just to get a development environment or a decent shell.
Upgrading these are hit and miss, and it's more common than not that third party drivers do not support newer versions of the operating system.
Linux, meanwhile, integrates all of these components. As long as you stay away from non-supported third party drivers it just works, and upgrades are painless. (Until some desktop developers change the GUI again, but that's another story.)
