My parents bought a Chrysler/ Stellantis product to tow their camper after I told them to buy literally anything else. Unsurprisingly it’s a heap of shit.
The engine has a plastic oil cooler - sits in the engine valley, it cracked and leaked oil everywhere at 40k miles. Their plastic intake manifold leaks and sometimes when you start the shitbox there is a strong odor of gasoline (60k). The plastic valve covers leak (70k). Needed an entire front accessory/pulley assembly because the water pump was leaking - made of…plastic (80k). Shocks and struts are shot and causing tread cupping on the tires - 90k. In addition to this, when i drive it around I notice a few things - it’s loud as shit. The engine sounds like it has shit timing or a flat cam or something. Exterior noise is terrible you hear everything. It shifts like an automatic from the 80s and it has 27 gears so it shifts constantly. I’m so sad for them but Dad got a great “deal” on it, I wonder why.

Linux is fucking awesome. I can just fix so many of my problems in the terminal.

I’d rather have 5 problems with a piece of software and being able to investigate/fix them, than have 1 problem and be told “whoopsie doopsie, something went wrong, we made a fucky wucky, go pound sand about it”

That is exactly why I like programming waaay more than IT work.
… At least until the problem turns out to come from some core component in a key library that has yet to be fixed. Though that’s way less common and easier to fix than when piece of canned software wants to get in a slapfight disagreeing with its own documentation…

For me it has been the exact opposite.Once you’ve set up arch it just works ™. On pop_os I get constant freezes and on W11 shit just randomly stops working.

Samesies. Garuda Linux has pretty much been “set and forget” for me for about 150 days now.
