By age 40, a Linux user stops trying to install Arch on a toaster just to prove they can. They finally settle on Debian Stable or Mint because they realize they no longer have the "mental bandwidth" to spend 6 hours configuring stuff or fix broken systems just to check their email or watch Netflix. 😊
@nixCraft I installed Debian 13 (stable) to my primary laptop this week and installed most of the apps I use. I have had to Magic SysRq REISUB once so far. I guess I'm still missing something important or I just keep running into new issues every time I manage to fix older ones. Oh well. Computers are never truly stable anyway.
