best linux distro that doesn't crash once in a while?

One that doesn't have a GUI. Freetards can't into GUI.
Of course, you might as well go back to DOS at that point, with its better hardware support and software selection.

Fedora. Never crashed and never broke on me. I never had a system crash, but I have my file manager crashing from time to time... like once or twice a week. but that happened even on Windows, KDE and GNOME. I can't think of something else, it's a smooth ride. I really like Fedora.

Elementary OS was quite nice in early versions, then they ruined it. The new dock with retarded tray/windows thing in dock is atrocious design. Thank GNOME for ruining UI/DE. One must be very fucking talented to conceive something so ugly and tasteless. It was good before, why the fuck change something that is good? It must be some learned retardation.

In 2009 when i first heard of linux, if i had just stuck with debian i would have saved, probably a 50~ hours.
Not that that 50~ hours would have went somewhere useful for myself, or anyone else.

My point is, you know the answer. You're just preaching to the audience of fanatics so they give you attention by way of trying to convince you into their cult. You don't really care about the 'distro', as their usecases are known and evident. You care about the attention. You whore.

You got it backwards, it's the hardware supporting the OS, not the other way around.
MSDOS runs well on IBM Thinkpad because IBM supports MSDOS (obviously).

OK, so you triple-downed. DOS didn't have "sound drivers" - the sound drivers were built into your game.
What you have here isn't a driver, it's a Sound Blaster emulator - hence the name SBEMU.
Typical mistake made by stupid zoomers who weren't there.

Anon, they understand perfectly that DOS isn't Windows. But like a communist, jogger or a feminist (there's no difference - freetards are a type of leftist), they'll pretend not to understand if it wins an argument. Once you internalise this, every dumb-as-shit thing loontroons do and say makes perfect sense.

As a normie Linux user, I landed on Debian, after trying many distros (Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, etc.). I like that it has slower updates. I prefer Gnome, I don't care about ricing, customization, or gaming, and I like the CTRL+ALT+Arrow Keys for switching workspaces, and using the SuperKey for search.

Strange, I thought it was only the hardcore l33t linux users that did that.

>>109755366
I mean, I'm /g/'s resident old guy normie and I know what rofi is. I also think it's shit compared to elephant+walker
>>
>>109755366
So, no launcher program better than rofi or dmenu. Congratulations, you're a retard. Stamping your feet and screeching insults about it just makes you even dumber.
>>
>>109756037
nta but so many users do it that distros are starting to include it with the base install. It's especially useful when normies have to ask for help because it gives a (albeit basic) overview of their environment and hardware which are among the top things needed for diagnostics.

You're asking the wrong questions, it's not your distro crashing it's your Desktop Environment.

Use XFCE for absolute minimal crashing. Cinnamon is a good middle ground for way more features while still not being unreliable.
If you want a huge amount of features and dont care about bloat get KDE plasma.

Honestly this is the most tiring thing for me when it comes to linux, people talking about distros like they even matter beyond the package manager is infuriating to me
