Has not been my experience with either of these three. There are plenty of Linux distros that are miles more stable.
- rifung 8y agoThat's fair I should have prefaced by saying I have only used the Pixelbook and my experience on Linux is limited to Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint, and Slack. I've only really used a Thinkpad and MBP for the laptops so of course your experience may differ depending on your hardware. Also when I said things work I didn't mean stability/crashes which I admit do happen. I was referring to hardware (wifi) not working which in my opinion is much more annoying.
- azangru 8y agoYep, I've heard so many people complain about Windows subsystem for Linux that I am terrified of even touching Windows. It's been mostly a smooth ride on MacOS for me, but there were some minor quirks that I encountered on MacOS that were not even an issue on my Linux machine (an example most vivid in my mind is how the default ssh client broke on High Sierra: https://superuser.com/questions/1279450/ssh-could-not-resolve-hostname-high-sierra https://superuser.com/questions/1279450/ssh-could-not-resolv... or how Docker on MacOS could not resolve ipv6 addresses).
