I'm in the same camp. I have home servers that run linux and it works great there, but on the desktop I've run into a surprising amount of stability issues. It's honestly worse than it was 20 years ago in that regard.
I seriously can't imagine what could be going on here. I've got opensuse, debian, and mint in the household for non-savvy people and it all just works. I have a rare problem with a Tumbleweed update, like twice a year. Printing, wifi, everything. It is way more stable than my Enterprise-managed Windows 11 machine. So I am seriously curious what problems people are having.
Often it is the hardware. One should check what is supported, the chipsets etc... Or just get Framework (or maybe a mainstream Dell). It's a pity they only do laptops....

Yeah i guess the hardware is the variable factor. My stuff is pretty old, so maybe it is better-supported.
