    That’s not the definition of stable.

    My Linux desktop required about a reboot a week, but I think that’s because I was using a kernel and syatemd from Debian Unstable. When I’m getting both of those from Debian Stable, I only reboot when there’s a security fix in one of those.

    I do have a couple of issues I work around on a daily basis, but they aren’t even bad enough for me to open a Debian bug, so I don’t expect them to change/get fixed.

    Also, I refuse to blame Linux or Debian when I acquire and use software outside of the Debian repositories.

      How about this - I configured Kate to have full Markdown support, with preview.

      There was an update today. The Document Preview plugin got disabled and once I enabled it, it’s no longer able to display Markdown preview.

      That’s what I call “unstable”. Shit randomly breaking for no reason at all. And I know it’s probably SOME dependency SOMEWHERE that got updated which broke a DIFFERENT dependency, but that’s kind of my point - things like this just don’t happen on Windows (since around Win10).
