the year of the Linux desktop is now
It's still coming, I have tried to switch using my desktop but still have. Needed to swap back to windows for stability.
For stability? A missing feature or software you need I get, but stability? Which distro/DE are you using? Please don't say you're running Gentoo and some crazy TWM setup or something like that lol
Stability to me was one of the biggest reasons to use Linux - it does exactly what I expect it to do, never breaks, updates never break shit.
LOL never beaks. Most Linux distros are chock full of bugs that the end user has to work around
I've not had a single breakage in the past ~4 years I've been on Fedora Workstation, despite me often moving to the beta channel. Pretty nice for an up-to-date distro.
Granted, I've also been on some less stable distros/DEs (in my case, it used to be Manjaro's KDE version). Perhaps yours is similar, since you claim to have extreme stability problems?
I cannot say the same for Windows, where things randomly stop working, I still occasionally get bluescreens, it shits the bed when I change hardware, etc. the last time I booted into Windows my audio stopped working entirely, and no matter how many times I reinstalled audio drivers or did a system restore, nothing would fix it. I ended up having to buy an external DAC.
There's a lot of reasons to stay on windows, never heard of stability being one haha. It's bsod city over there lol
I haven't seen that on Fedora, in the years that I've been using it.
