Big Linux user here. It's been my daily driver on my personal desktop and laptop for coming up on 20 years (damn). I haven't had any of the dreaded graphics-driver-breaking-during-update or other hardware issues since like 2008. It works great with Zoom, Teams, WebEx, whatever you throw at it. It's fast and stable. My laptop uptime regularly hits 30+ days before I go down for an upgrade.
When my 70+ mom needed a new computer, I put Ubuntu on it and turned on unattended upgrades. I do SSH into it every 6 months and update her Zoom .deb manually (I guess there's a ppa for that?). She uses it every day and has had no problem.
I'm really impressed with the Linux experience. Thanks to all who have contributed!
- gazby 2y agoYou didn't mention your distro, which I think is very relevant when discussing upgrade failures and GPU issues.
- acidburnNSA 2y agoIt did happen a lot back in the 2007 Fedora Core days. Now I use PopOS and Ubuntu and it doesn't happen. My mom's computer is using Ubuntu.

- aaomidi 2y agoHonestly what’s more relevant is, is it an nvidia gpu. If not then you’re basically golden no matter what you use.
