It literally almost never happens for windows yet Linux is generally most famous by this one thing

It should not happen if you use debian, Ubuntu or Mint stable. As long you don't do anything exotic it should not break, at not since 2018.

And if it breaks remember you compare free software made by volunteers (and paid employees from companies) with much less money and they still manage to compete with the multi billion dollar company Microsoft.

  1. It was on ~~Ubuntu~~ Debian

  2. Is exactly what I'm trying to say.. this is why Linux will not be ever better unless it is an actual product that can have real money poured into it. Except they don't really "manage to compete". Unless you count 1vs99 as non-laughable competition. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to use something else but as of right now, nothing can really compare with stability and being "plug and play"
