From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Let's not pretend Linux isn't without its own jank. Currently broken on my install
/proc/acpi/wakeup
after every boot or the nvme ssd immediately wakes the system up from sleepI know I'll get down voted for saying this because lemmy is a Linux circlejerk. But if we want Linux to proliferate we can't keep ignoring its problems. And sure, if I could be bothered I could probably fix most of these things with enough time. But I don't want to spend my limited free time fixing stuff that really should just work out of the box
You are saying these like it is every Linux OS. Mine has been good, even hibernate and nVidia work great when others complain about this stuff.
I've been dailying Linux for 6 or 7 years with a variety of hardware configurations and there's always been something that's broken or not working correctly
Have you tried OpenSUSE? I have been running since 2017...everything is working, all distro upgrades have been fine. Either I'm super lucky or SUSE/OpenSUSE has things figured out
