This is kind of the reason I have switched to Mac. I used Ubuntu throughout my CSE degree and a year after. But system bricking at random upgrade, needing a fix was a no go for me at work. I understand some people do not face this issue.

But whenever I wanted to try out something new or install anything, some random stuff would go wrong and would need hours of searching and fixing. Happens much less often with MacOs.



That is quite vague statement to make. Linux let you try/change a lot more on its internal than MacOS, so you can definitely to more damage to your system on linux.

I don’t see you trying simple things like “apt install go” and your pc would stop working (unless faulty hardware).


Sounds like you had faulty hardware.
