My lily-white ass it has. If anything, my experience with the Linux distro ecosystem in the last year is worse than I have ever had with Linux going back some 20 years. I would frankly trade any of the dozens of broken &quot;robust desktop distros&quot; for just Red Hat 7 or Mandrake or early 2000&#x27;s Debian.<p>I have gone through any of nearly a dozen different distros in the last year, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, more I&#x27;m probably forgetting, and every single one of them failed within weeks. Most wouldn&#x27;t even boot on my hardware, others had weird limitations, while still others just completely ate themselves during routine updates or version changes.<p>At this point I&#x27;d sooner use FreeBSD, or swallow my annoyance with PC-BSD&#x27;s security model and give that another go.
