Your'e right people are not lying, they just don't realize what they have done to break it. Linux is great because it gives the users full power... and that includes the power to break it. Windows babysits the user, and it doesn't allow them to make changes that break it.
So? A lot of dumb people use Linux too... just because dumb people break things doesn't mean that Linux isn't stable. There is a reason 90% of web and cloud infrastructure runs on Linux... because it's a more secure and stable OS.
Luck has nothing to do with it.
I'm running a fresh Debian stable build for the past 2-3 days, with NO apt package installed(other than flatpak), no other modifications, vanilla as vanilla gets, only flatpaks installed.
So far: On first install, apt upgrade was broken... lol.. yeah.
Other than that, it freezes on suspend, and I'm getting weird screen flickering that it's really hard to troubleshoot so far, specially because when I turn on OBS it mysteriously just doesnt happen. Also steam doesnt open up sometimes, sometimes it does, depends on if you're feeling lucky or not, it also doesnt respect the DE settings, so when it does open the scale is wrong, and everything is tiny.
And this is with a distro known to be stable.
Why don't you explain to me why I have not had any problems running 3 servers for the last 5 years. And why I've not had any problems running it on 6 other machines of varying desktops and laptops? Why don't you explain to me why 90% of web and cloud infrastructure chooses Linux because it is so reliable and stable? I do everything in Linux... everything, including recording in OBS and video editing in Lightworks, no problems.
So tell me, why is it only certain users that seem to have a problem with Linux? Why do you think that is? Because it seems to me the really basic users get on fine with it, and the really advanced users get on fine with it. The only people that have problems are Windows power users that have no fucking clue what they are doing, but try things anyways and break things.
You seem upset.
You seem like you're trying to avoid acknowledging the fact that you are wrong.
Literally linked ya debian stable being broken out of the box. No user input required. Not sure how else to show ya that even stable Linux distros break on their own.
What part of my argument do you think that counters? Because I never said Linux has 100% reliability, I said, Linux is more reliable than Windows. Try to follow a long with what is actually being said instead of setting up strawman arguments.
This part:
Your first line.
