It is so obivious that you have never used linux... or you have only tried vanilla arch or something
what ticked me off was "Go ahead, hope you read all the patch notes for the 1000s different updates you are about to get!” since that is relavant for only arch and some of its deriatives. It sounded like someone who has heard/read others talk about linux but never used it themselves hence my assumption. I am sorry that you had such a negative experience beforehand but I swear its much more stable nowadays. My obssession for linux comes from the free software movement and it's alignment with my personal values, so I tend to take some linux related criticsm personally I guess. 😅 Anyway have a nice day
Manjaro spesifically is the arch deriative that is bound to break no one reccomends it nowadays. And Ubuntu and fedora aren't distros that tend to break really, Linux doesn't auto update either. if you are installing custom kernel modules it is your responsibility to check if they're updated not before you update your system as long as that stuff doesn't come with the distro (than it's the distro maintainers responsibility). You are doing modifications that are meant for experienced users when youbson't know what you are getting into. User error user error user error. Linux kernel is also far more compatible with any congifuration rrally than windows ever could be, it's the reason linhx works so well in older machines too. and distro maibtainer don't have to accojbt for every set up it juat doesn't work like that windows doean't do that either. Kindly I propose stopping this stupid discussion because you only half know what you are talking about.
