Sometimes it has its own problems, but it doesn't mean that it's not great (lemmy.world)

aaaand thats why i like "newbie" distros like ubuntu mint fedora and such.

i want my computer to work without a hitch and without having to maintain the OS.

It's always been bad practice to just blindly update software. That's why we have different distros.

Ubuntu and Mint hold your hand and make it easy for newcomers. Great way to dive into Linux. I completely agree these are great for "it just works" and no fuss. I've not had one break on me.

Arch and Gentoo expect you to have experience and know what you're doing. You build it up how you want it. That's what makes these so great. But you need the experience and knowledge.

I've personally tried openSUSE and in my opinion it feels like a good middle ground between both ends. In the past I've recommended Mint to get started, openSUSE once you've got experience, and then Arch for when you want total control.

I've never really had an issue in the 7 years I've used Linux. I don't use Arch BTW.

My server OSes all run Debian which can auto update reliability with automatic reboots that happen staggered overnight.
