I wish Linux was more mature. Even as a systems and network administrator with 10+ years of experience working with both Linux and Windows in an enterprise environment, my private desktop Linux installs still occasionally bork themselves for no good reason and require a reinstall. Linux just doesn’t like it when you do stuff with it.

Ubuntu and other Ubuntu desktop variants tend to break very often for me. But this has nothing to do with Linux.

I use Arch Linux at home and never reainstalled it because its solid af. Unlike Windows or Ubuntu

I second this. People usually recommend Ubuntu for beginners which I can somewhat understand because it’s super easy to get started. But the downside is that you’ll most likely stay a beginner and don’t understand the absolute basics of a Linux based OS because, well, most of the time you don’t have to. Then you make a beginner’s mistake once and there you go.

The only thing borking my system is nvidia not keeping up with opensuse tumbleweed kernels.

But i haven’t encountered such issuess on distros with fixed releases, such as debian or fedora. In my experience unless you modifiy system stuff it’s very reliable.

After looking at the other graphs, it coincides with a spike for simplified Chinese, which means for some reason a lot of people in presumably china were way more active on that month.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
