>a modern Linux distro has _the fewest_ of such problems Interestingly, I keep reading these claims online but every time I try it turns out to be exactly the other way around. Maybe I'm haunted by the Linux ghosts, but even though I love running Linux on servers, Linux on laptops has always been a complete disaster for me. It runs hot, drains the battery, and updates ruin the entire installation with alarming frequency. It's not even remotely as stable as Windows or Mac (or Android, which is particularly interesting since it is Linux as well). I've spent weeks investigating power management issues on Linux laptops down to individual drivers. I don't recommend the experience to anyone.
