Now - I'm not super deep in Linux. I get to tinkering with it every few years since College.
Early on, you had a lot of weird config stuff and cryptic error messages you had to figure out to get it up and running normally. Then it was OK until something weird happened. The chances of something weird happening go wayyy up if you don't heed your advice:
> Next, don't modify anything. Use the DE it comes with, never open the terminal, treat it like it's MacOS or Windows and you're your grandma. Then you'll have a good, solid desktop.
But even so - occasionally, weird stuff will happen. Just like it happens on any OS over time, the farther you get from a clean install. Software Entropy, if you will. May god have mercy on your layman's soul if that is the case.

Your base OS is basically always in the state the developers intend (as long as you don't mess with it). Applications are all containerized and if you do dev stuff, that's also in containers.
