    I’ve had Fedora lock up on me a few times over the years, eventually some update fixes something pretty quick and it stops doing it. Tbf, I’ve had windows freeze on me far more all the way from '98 to XP to Vista to 8.1 to 10, I kinda just figured it happens sometimes.

      Nah this is like once a week. Windows (post XP) crashes on me maybe once a year. It’s much more stable than desktop Linux in my experience.

        It’s been maybe once a year with Fedora (except that time it was three days before the update that fixed whatever the issue was, but then it was like three times and I pretty much count it as the same “incident”). Wish I could help, but short of knowing why all I have is “well that sucks bro.” Maybe looking into your logs when it happens will help identify a specific problem that can be fixed, if you care to do so. If you like windows though just stick to windows, whatever.

          Yeah unfortunately I have to use Linux for work. I have considered WSL but… I dunno even with its many bugs I think WSL is probably worse. I have no idea how you get X apps working under it for example.
