I can assure you my UI is stable. But only because I’m familiar with how to make it that way. Sometimes I break things because I like to learn how to fix them (I did that on Windows too).
I agree with you, Linux servers are amazing. I have a NUC here running a bunch of services. I use Gentoo because it gives me a ton of flexibility to wander into unusual territories easily.
Best to you!
If you had started on Linux, you’d have stability due to familiarity.
Moving to something unfamiliar is HARD. Since I’m the nerd in the friend group, I’m sometimes tasked to address issues.
Helping someone with a Windows 11 issue was hard, because all of the familiar tools I used in Windows 7 (the last version I spent a bunch of time on) had been moved or looked completely different. I was lost for a bit. I knew what the problem was, but I couldn’t figure out how to get to the tool to troubleshoot and fix.
If you decide to try again, take it slow, and figure out how to fix issues as they arise. Once you become familiar, things get easier, I promise.
It’s Linux-ish under the hood really. No Android device I’m aware of is running the vanilla kernel.
