It's not coming completely out of nowhere. The fact that you're having a discussion on Lemmy means the people you're conversing with are aware that you're willing to consider libre alternatives to shitty mainstream tech.

After I installed Linux on all my family laptops all OS problems was "surprisingly" desapeared.
Because they don't work or because they don't know how to use them anymore? ;)

I dual boot just so I can still have programming software for many of my ham radios. Planning on getting a graphics card soon and then I'll use windows for that and fallout 🥴

Every time I try Linux on my own, it's fine. But God forbid I ever use any device that comes with Linux pre-installed, and I'm cursed. I'm on my third steam deck after it software bricked itself, and our university Linux server is so unstable that it disconnects my session with vim every 30 minutes or so. Pain. At least there's a method to the madness: trust nobody but myself :P
Have you tried using Mosh? It's the "Mobile Shell" which was built to survive the dodgey connections of WiFi, mobile/cell and long distance SSH connections. Well worth a look if you're having problems with a disconnecting shell.
It's available on all versions of Linux, iOS, Mac and Android.

Well... I jokingly told my friend to switch to Linux - that guy switched and I can attest to it that he is much happier now 😁
Really though, switch to Linux.
Most birds have trouble with windows. Especially when they are polished and super shiny
Windows issues?
