Why does every linux distro feel so odd? You know what I mean? Everything feels like it's going to break sooner or later, like everything is laggy, the animations are weird, programs crash unexpectedly and with obscure messages, when you install something you never know if it's going to break right away or if it will work for at least 5 minutes, and so on. It's like if you bought a car and you were afraid to open the door for the fear of doors breaking. It doesn't feel the same on macOS, those just feel like they are sturdy. Does that make any sense, or am I the only one that sees this?

I think I see what you mean. Everything feels like it's being held with duct tape and chewing gum, even on more stable distros like Fedora and Debian. It's like you're walking on eggshells.

Oh so you mean you are a brainlet who relies on the GUI to get things done. Perhaps you should go back to windows

Can relate. Was strictly windows between 1995 and 200something or so. Started experimenting with different random distros like Xandros, knoppix etc... always gave off a weird vibe while using them. I swear its your brain playing tricks on you because visually it mau jusy not feel right. In regards to stability, the less you understand such a customizable os the more shaky it will feel and there will be unease at the potential of ruining a running system.

Just
$ sudo guix system roll-back
GNU Guix System doesn't have this problem.

I get what you mean, every update feels like a risk.
Kys, retard. There's a reason why twm were abandoned.

because it doesn't have any actual funding or organized development so every update and patch is from some neckbeard in a basement

I couldn’t have phrased it myself. I LOVE Fedora, but it WILL break at some point and I will have to fix shit. Also if I don’t disable secure boot, daemons will break and my shit won’t work as good. And if I disable it, Windows just feels wonky for some fucking reason. I hate tech it’s incredible, I use to feel so comfortable around it and now i feel like a complete boomer all the time.

Fragmentation. Linux has to be able to work with multiple windowing toolkits, display server protocols, hundreds of different window managers and terminals, etc. and Linux programs don't work with all of them, whereas Windows mainly has just Win32, dwm, cmd & powershell and Windows programs will always expect these to be preinstalled and work with them. ChromeOS and Android are examples of Linux that don't really have a fragmented developer ecosystem because of their more locked down nature (Google's way or the highway).

For all the shit it gets, MacOS really is the only OS that feels sturdy at all times. For sure has to do with the limited hardware it runs on, but it’s just comfy as fuck. If somehow you could game on MacOs as well as on Windows (not going to happen) I would 100% drop anything else

Probably because macOS is a cohesive project managed by one company that needs to be polished and usable by millions of professionals; whereas Loonix is a hacked together mess of components made by a bunch of different, but equally crazy, ideologues who all hate eachother mashed together.

I think if you update at a Windows service pack pace or maybe a bit quicker, not much will break that you can't find a detailed discussion on how to fix. But if you're doing weekly updates instead, expect to be fixing broken things or rolling back to a safe version on a weekly basis and expect to be waiting for the discussion on how to properly fix it to finish and give you the solution.
I'm pretty sure a bunch of things are out of date on my system, but everything is working fine, so what would I update for? Mythical 2% perfomance increases and bleeding edge vulnerability patches or just a bunch of bloat to fix other people's weird problems? It's usually the latter, and you'll know if it's time to update for something you actually want.
I think most people do this, because if you update weekly, you're going to go insane from breakages and spending more time fixing things than if you stayed with Windows. Don't be an updoomer like those guys who accidentally their recordings of Russian war crimes, just chill out if everything works as it should.

While Android is mainly ARM-focused, its x86 version is decent and they've now ported it to RISC-V. Android programs regardless of CPU architecture all expect the same unified Android API to work with, it's not like Linux where you get to choose between GTK, Qt, X.Org, Wayland, etc.

It's okay for things to break.
