From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I meant reliability. It's bad if you use ANY feature besides virtual desktops and app opening. In my understanding "stability" is stability of ALL features of the program, no matter how rarely they're used.
It really isn't, at least in my experience. And I have an Nvidia card!
All software beyond a moderate complexity has bugs.
Oh then it makes sense why you argued. However it's important to keep in mind that experience can vary among users. For example, in my case Plasma was very unstable on an Intel iGPU.
Not an excuse tbh.
The thing to do is participate in the beta programs and report any bugs you find, as you're having so much instability you would be an ideal participant whereas me with my smooth running wouldn't.
It's not what I'm saying. KDE releases untested and buggy builds to stable. It makes it unstable software. If you're a KDE fan, I understand, but don't reject objective facts.
What part of
didn't you understand?
The part where it says that it makes it stable and also the part where it says that GNOME is unstable.

KDE doesn't seem to give you an overall view
But then also:
Oh the irony.
It's not irony. Floating defects and hardware-specific fixes exist.
