    Kind of, but some distros are still much more stable than others.

    It’d be like only ever trying windows ME or vista, rather than 2000 or 7.

    You’re still getting ‘the windows experience’, but you happen to be using one of the least stable options available. Much like choosing pop vs debian.

      Depends on the hardware config mostly.

      See? Here’s the problem - I installed PopOS on my old EliteBook to check it out and it’s been absolutely marvellous. Zero issues whatsoever.

      At the same time, at work we have laptops that choke and panic under Debian.
