My sense is that this kind of thing is typical for newer versions of the Linux kernel. Most people don't run the latest kernel release, and for day-to-day applications, running an older, more stable version of the kernel won't effect anything.
I quit MacOS a little over 10 years ago now. I used to be a huge Mac fan, even subscribing to MacAddict magazine and frequenting the Mac Rumors website.
It was a cult and I have absolutely no regrets leaving. Especially now that Bitwig runs on Linux, what would I ever need a Mac for?
I'm using Arch Linux and it's the most stable operating system I've ever used. I've gone more than 4 years with the same installation. Thanks to the Arch wiki I now have working knowledge of things like systemd and how to compile kernel modules. These things really aren't nearly as scary as they sound. I didn't learn about them by reading the longwinded `man` pages... I learned about them from the Arch wiki!

- macawfish 7y agoOkay the lol is warranted... but in a certain way I'm serious: Ubuntu and MacOS were always changing things for me whenever I upgraded. Arch doesn't make any systemwide configuration changes. If some package has backwards-incompatible changes, I deal with those one at a time, but there's none of this "oh we rearranged the entire organizational structure of your root directory surprise!!!" stuff. And because I'm always getting the latest stable versions of things, bugs often disappear magically, rather than lingering on until the next major upgrade. And yeah I mean you gotta follow some key rules, like never install anything without the `u` flag, etc.
