Ah yes. I know you. You didn’t swelter under the obnoxious blaring idiocy of Windows long enough. You’re either too young to be terrorized by winsock issues or nerdy enough to have bypassed all gravitational social tech support requirements in the 90’s/2000’s.
Either way, the inevitable troubleshooting still holds appeal of some sort, and that’s good. I’ve got a couple of classic stinkpads running various flavors of (well, I’m sure all Debian really) and they’re lots of fun, it’s true. But the idea that I can use a single laptop for weeks or even months without ever once encountering an error or odd behavior or required updates or even restarting is wonderful enough for me to be happy with it.
It’s like if you ever got an ink-tank printer and suddenly didn’t worry about buying printer cartridges anymore. That feeling of enlightenment, like there’s a whole level of experience where no one gives a shit how many pages of things they print because it’s free. Glorious.
Oh sure, sure. But the last time I had to troubleshoot my main system was . . . Probably a decade ago. I troubleshoot rebuilding old ones or some twit friend-or-family that has to run some microsoft garbage but for me, troubleshooting’s like - nothin’ at all! . . . nothin’ at all! . . . nothin’ at all!

(You do realize that some Linux distros are quite stable compared to Windows right? I haven’t had to troubleshoot my Mint installation in years.)
