Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

I rolled my eyes real hard at this.
As a Linux supporter, this is absolutely not the case and it's going to piss off every person who swaps to Linux thinking it'll be this easy, and then when they're hit with reality, switches back to Windows.
The problem they are talking about is specific to Linux Mint, not to Linux in general. Linux Mint is known for not working on newer hardware because of its outdated kernel. Ironically arch based distros would work well here as they always have a new kernel.
I've upgraded graphics cards multiple times with Windows, the hardest part was fitting my fat fingers in the case when I underestimated the size of the gtx660 for my tiny Dell case ages ago. I am looking into Linux atm though
While there is truth to that, it's nice distro-hopping was a solution for me. Can't really solve your windows problems that way.
