Life is too short to depend on unstable software
Honestly, I&#x27;ve had better luck on the bleeding edge.  Newer Linux kernels almost always are better (and when they&#x27;re not, it gets fixed quickly).  Wayland is definitely better than X.  Newer Gnome is better than old Gnome.<p>Ruby 3 and 3.1 is definitely better than 2.7. Rails 7 is way better than 6, even in alpha state.  Deno is nicer than Node (although the ecosystem needs to catch up). Hell, V8 and then Node led to a boom in web technologies.  In fact, I think with every language newer compilers and interpreters just keep getting better, never seen enough regressions to make me not want to upgrade.<p>With games, newer kernels and drivers are better.  Proton Experimental has Age of Empires 4 working perfectly on Linux what, a week after release?<p>I really can&#x27;t think of a time I wanted older technology.  I just upgraded to Fedora 35, it&#x27;s the best laptop experience I&#x27;ve ever had.  Ubuntu and others have been stable and good enough, but Fedora 35 is snappy and everything works in a way that&#x27;s just better.  No more slow software centre.  No weirdness with snaps.  Quicker suspend and awake.  Fingerprint sensor works out of the box.  Etc...
