Using the most lauded distro, plugging a very common model of laptop into an external display (very common activity), and having it crash is inexcusable. That is not an OS that can be used for day-to-day work. I hear YOU in YOUR belief that desktop linux is stable and ready for primetime. Maybe some day that'll be true. I think it'll probably be sooner than I think, but it's not there yet. Desktop linux still has tons of rough edges, weird glitches, and is still quite buggy the second you take it out of the rather narrowly defined "best hardware" list. It's come a long way, but even the teams building these distros have their own "100 papercuts" lists, and the stuff on there is pretty low hanging fruit, even today.
