> It works until it doesn't is the story.
No, that's not my story nor is it the story of the vast majority of Ubuntu/Kubuntu users.
> Too much variation in consumer hardware for linux to ever be reliable for majority.
That's a false statement, too many of us out here using Desktop Linux to try and make such a claim in 2026 (or even 20 years ago for that matter).
> I even bought lenovos officially linux supported laptop etc to try to fix the issues.
Tens of thousands of us developers in IBM used Desktop Linux on Thinkpads and later Lenovos for your statement to not ring true with me.
> I bent over backwards for ubuntu, suse, fedora over the years. Sometimes it would be years of stability in between, but it would always come back to bite me if i ever tried to trust it as my primary machine.
Those statements do not represent a truthful reality the majority of Desktop Linux users experience. This isn't 1996 in a random Linux IRC channel.
