The amazing thing about Linux is there are distros for any purpose. If you want stability there are distros focused on that. Yeah, the popular ones are often bleeding edge, or near bleeding edge, but you don’t have to use one that’s using the latest updates.

sykaster@feddit.nl 2 days agoI’ve never had an issue of this gravity on Windows. I use Linux and it has its issues as well. Stability is not why I use Linux lmao

as far as I know, Debian is the “gold standard” for stable linux to the point of being one of the most famous distros used on servers as well.
Exceptions are using unstable/testing versions of debian or accounting for an windows program to just work perfectly under wine (but that is a microsoft-linux integration which MS almost always wants to not happen)

Stability is why I use an atomic distro

You use the wrong linux then.

No, they all have their issues. That is the very definition of linux.

In what way? The most stable Linux is far better than what Microsoft could yank out of their AI asses. Debian and Red Hat has been the staple of many servers around the globe. Hell, this Lemmy instance might be on one of those.
It’s only when you tinker around too hard and fast then you have problems in Linux. But there are ways to get things back on track easily compared to Windows.

I usually restart my gentoo machines when I move or once every couple of years when I update them. Debian stable is pretty similar.
