From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're going to be super disappointed to learn that most people who have been using Linux as daily driver for decades just use whatever works. Linus himself just uses Fedora.
Nobody that has real shit to do wants to worry about things not working or causing issues. Immutable is pointless, Nix is something I use for work, Ubuntu is dead to me...etc.
It helps to read the post body text.
I did. Which is why I commented. You literally said "there are no wrong answers" 🤣
I will write "that are valuable to the discussion" next time. Of course I value stability, the Amazon fiasco was 5 years ago. I just wanted an open ended discussion.
Plenty of good answers already :)
