- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

Step 1: ah so glad this setup is complete and fully tweaked. So let’s leave it as is.
Step 2: but then again maybe I should try out this little extra thing I just found online that might not work…
It turns out you love installing and configuring software, not actually using it.
I'm in this post and I don't like it
I never make it to step 1

Step 2: Why is x broken after an update!?

Is it just me? I've had more issues with Linux updates than Windows updates at this point. Don't get me started with major distro updates.
Either keep things minimal or keep the complex stuff isolated.
To me it kinda depends on what hardware/distro.
Currently running MX on multiple systems for more than a year now and it’s been pretty smooth sailing.
I do remember, however, using fedora and whatnot ages ago having exactly what you describe.
If you want something more stable you might wanna look at debian, opensuse,… (I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will complete this list). They might not be as flashy but you can depend on those and get some work done.
More than a year doesn’t sound particularly long.
I'm running LTS versions of Ubuntu server (and Windows 11 on my PC). Debian would be more stable, but then it's so far behind that it's a pain to use at times, especially for running any kind of game server. Ubuntu has been pretty good so far, but LTS to LTS isn't always easy.
