A good amount of Linux distros don't seem to want to get the basics down. Constant churn vs stable but way out of date is more how is describe the choice, while windows at it's core is actually a pretty stable platform. I don't have to, for example, get annoyed at Firefox middle mouse scroll not working because I forgot this distro still defaults to x11 even though it installs Wayland too blah blah blah.

Firefox middle mouse scroll works fine in X11. I use it all the time. But I guess that's beside the point; I'm sure we could come up with a different example.
