Is that right? Very surpised to learn about this. Messy, brutal, nightmare. I’m running Linux as my primary OS more than a decade and find it very stable compared to Win and Mac which I use when it’s a must. I wonder how such a messy base offers such stability ...

Partially right. I have a DIY machine with Ubuntu. There has been display issues, sound issues, and hibernation issues as well. If you go to Ubuntu's bug report website (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu), there is a huge list of them. It is true for other distros and Windows (internally).

When people are afraid or unable to make changes, you get few breaking changes at all.

Yes, that's right. Linux is severely lacking in internal structure, and it takes a lot of effort to develop for this kernel. It is easily an order of magnitude harder relative to every other kernel I've touched. I have been running primarily Linux for longer (over two decades) and I am to some extent fond of it. But it is what it is.
