This is a forum where people seek help. Of course you’re going to see problems here. Nobody posts “hey it’s been several years and I’ve had no problems.”

Of course linux is stable. It runs like 80% of servers on the Internet.

Is it not stable?

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

You are going to get gaslit to hell about this on lemmy. But no. It is not stable in the sense you mean.

The effort is worth it though.

It’s better than it was, but still not as user-friendly as Windows or macOS.
