I wish Linux was more mature. Even as a systems and network administrator with 10+ years of experience working with both Linux and Windows in an enterprise environment, my private desktop Linux installs still occasionally bork themselves for no good reason and require a reinstall. Linux just doesn’t like it when you do stuff with it.
The only thing borking my system is nvidia not keeping up with opensuse tumbleweed kernels.
But i haven’t encountered such issuess on distros with fixed releases, such as debian or fedora. In my experience unless you modifiy system stuff it’s very reliable.
I second this. People usually recommend Ubuntu for beginners which I can somewhat understand because it’s super easy to get started. But the downside is that you’ll most likely stay a beginner and don’t understand the absolute basics of a Linux based OS because, well, most of the time you don’t have to. Then you make a beginner’s mistake once and there you go.

Ubuntu and other Ubuntu desktop variants tend to break very often for me. But this has nothing to do with Linux.
I use Arch Linux at home and never reainstalled it because its solid af. Unlike Windows or Ubuntu

while I agree with you, calling people who recommend other distro elitists, horrible teachers, and idiots is pretty combative and rude.
