A regular Ubuntu update on my XPS 13, an officially supported combination, broke my wifi. Since then it has also somehow broke itself in some other fun way such that there are now package conflicts and it's unable to update itself anymore as a result.
And that's ignoring all the general usability issues like the subpar battery life, the dreadfully terrible state of video playback, the touch screen constantly causing gnome to glitch internal state and get confused, etc...
On my Debian desktop I had a webcam completely take out the USB stack. Like all ports just dead, had to yank the power to reboot. I also had a btrfs array just go read-only for seemingly no reason after restoring from standby, and it wouldn't tell me why. After a reboot all was suddenly fine. Also it took an awfully long time to get that machine working after having been powered off for 3 months. If you go too long without updating, it seems all the package migrations just bitrot and break.
But yeah, year of Linux on the desktop. Any day now.
