Could it be that you are trying to use Linux like people use OSX and Windows? For instance, manually installing lots of things to try to get your system setup how you want? Messing around with tons of drivers for your funky hardware? Installing lots of applications from third party sources without checking if they're in the OS's own repo? The secret is to go with the flow, and use company-curated, community-and-history-grounded OS releases. Then you install almost everything using the system's package manager. The odds of breaking something if you go with the stream drop so close to 0 that it's not worth worrying about. And the last and most important trick is to buy from companies which support Linux for enterprise customers.
