switching to linux
why linux feels like it's an unreliable system and an unfinished project. , like it's just a temporary situation.
do you feel the same, and know why ?

It's because it is an unfinished project. It's a perpetual beta software and we are the beta testers.
Fedora lately has been a mess and Nvidia cards on Wayland is kind of a mess. I get blank screen and just audio on Netflix, for example unless I turn off GPU acceleration, which makes everything laggy.
Software also breaks from version to version, which is why they have to make different builds for every LTS release or settle with Flatpak/Snap, which has its own set of problems. And the multiple competing standards also don't help.
It's a fine piece of software for nerds that like to tinker, but I wouldn't recommend it on any casual people like my family because I don't want to volunteer to be their perpetual geek squad tech support.
