Yes, when deb files exist, I go for that! There have been instances where I'm following a tutorial for whatever I'm looking to do, and it's always terminal commands. I grew up using DOS, so i get PTSD when I see the terminal 😂

As for breaking, i don't remeber the distro (a major one), but I'd have instances where after some time the ram use would just grow and grow until everything came to a halt. Even with 32gb of ram i was having this happen often enough that i had to stop. I do still think my desktop pc still has linux installed as a dual boot with windows, but I've been using a laptop exclusively for a long while.

I'll still continue to try. My computing needs aren't excessive and i lived with a chromebook for years as a daily driver before getting a windows laptop.
