I've not had a single breakage in the past ~4 years I've been on Fedora Workstation, despite me often moving to the beta channel. Pretty nice for an up-to-date distro.

Granted, I've also been on some less stable distros/DEs (in my case, it used to be Manjaro's KDE version). Perhaps yours is similar, since you claim to have extreme stability problems?

I cannot say the same for Windows, where things randomly stop working, I still occasionally get bluescreens, it shits the bed when I change hardware, etc. the last time I booted into Windows my audio stopped working entirely, and no matter how many times I reinstalled audio drivers or did a system restore, nothing would fix it. I ended up having to buy an external DAC.
