My current issue is i see you guys constantly having issues, editing files etc.

Is it not stable?

Can you not set it up and then not have ongoing issues?

    Of course it’s stable.

    Just like with Windows, the more advanced stuff you do, the more advanced problems you’ll have.

    If you just wanna set and forget, avoid arch based and you’re golden.

      Well unless it’s just editing the text file. God forbid you unknowingly enter vim and don’t know how to get out without rebooting.

        Thing is, when people say that windows doesn’t break, they mean that it doesn’t break for normal users. I’d be surprised if those know what a command like editor is, to begin with.

          And it totally does break, it’s just that people are familiar with the ways windows breaks, and know how to work around it.

      Exactly … If all you’re going to do is go online and maybe write a document once in a while … a simple distro like Mint or PopOS will just work without issue.

        This is odd phrasing. It sounds like you’re saying mint and pop aren’t capable of more. Same when people call them "good for newbs"n implying that more advanced users flock elsewhere.
