I'll agree with that. My production machine at work is Debian, which is a 
conservative distro. Even that is Debian 11, not the current 'bookworm'. I 
like stable. It gets some updates but not major parts of the system.

My Fedora box is an experiment and I knew what I was getting into. 

I ran openSUSE 13.2 for years, long after it went out of support, with no 
problems. One difference from Windows is SUSE doesn't give a damn if you 
move to the latest version or not.
