I daily drive Linux and deeply appreciate the fact that pretty much everything (at least in the DE space) is developed for free by people donating their time - so don't take this the wrong way.
...but I've yet to experience the level of DE stability you get from Windows XP/7
That also applies to Windows 11 (low bar, I know) and MacOS.
It is getting much better and that's happening very quickly - but there is always some jank.
For instance, dragging a Chrome tab off the current window to create a new window. The various file managers in Linux (dolphin, files, thunar) fall short (also MacOS Finder is an actual joke).
Also matching glibc versions when distributing software is a bit tedious

- apatheticonion 1y agoNot recently. I think the last time I used it was a few years ago. I'll take a look though!
