Do you find much broken on Linux distros. My impression with Ubuntu is it only breaks when I mess around with it - which I do a lot. I imagine LTS installs are pretty stable and don't require "tinkering"?

FWIW my family all use Win10 and I'm called to fix that pretty often (latest: an update wiped out ability to view any JPEGs by associating TWINUI, on a desktop, with loads of filetypes).

I do prefer an OS that doesn't have the bonnet welded shut.
