  More stable

  Wellllll, I wouldn’t go that far.

  I just had to reboot because clicking anything in the browser randomly started sending the CPU utilisation to higher 70s, which was triggering the fans to spin at full power.

  Then I ran a game on Steam and Steam said it’s running, but it was nowhere to be found. Had to reboot again.

  Both of these happened completely randomly after I changed nothing, just browsing the web.

    Stable mean unchanging. Stable does not mean free of faults.

    I don’t know anything about MS Windows anymore, but I tend to doubt it’s as stable as Debian Stable, since we are constantly getting accused of being “too old” because of our stability policies.

      To me “stable” means: “fire and forget”. Maybe a reboot needed every couple of months because something broke, or having to kill a hung process. That’s my experience with Windows nowadays.

      I’m on Garuda Linux, which is based on Arch Zen, and every now and again something random breaks. Network connection doesn’t stand up after sleep. Steam randomly breaks. Signal refuses to connect. One monitor’s brightness doesn’t go back to default value after the OS dimmed it due to inactivity. Uninstalled application still shows up in Application Launcher’s search results, even though I deleted it from the KDE Menu Editor.

      Lots and lots of little things like that.

    There are many different ways to define “stable”. Linux is better in some, windows might be better in others.

    You dont have to restart your Computer, you can also just kill a task.

    To make it simple use something like mission center

      Steam does something weird when running a Windows game via Proton. I haven’t figured out which task to kill to kill a game it’s running.

    Steam said it was running

    Probably updating the client in the background, for some reason this is the default updating behavior on Linux unlike the visible progress bar on Windows

  More stable, haha. I was just randomly surfing around and my computer goes to sleep and can’t wake up.

  Also randomly, my computer won’t go into sleep mode when I close my laptop. It works about 90% of the time, but that 10% is when I pull my laptop out of my laptop bag and my computer is on fire and fans full blast trying to cool itself. The OS came from IBM installed.
