    More stable

    Wellllll, I wouldn’t go that far.

    I just had to reboot because clicking anything in the browser randomly started sending the CPU utilisation to higher 70s, which was triggering the fans to spin at full power.

    Then I ran a game on Steam and Steam said it’s running, but it was nowhere to be found. Had to reboot again.

    Both of these happened completely randomly after I changed nothing, just browsing the web.

      Steam said it was running

      Probably updating the client in the background, for some reason this is the default updating behavior on Linux unlike the visible progress bar on Windows

      You dont have to restart your Computer, you can also just kill a task.

      To make it simple use something like mission center

        Steam does something weird when running a Windows game via Proton. I haven’t figured out which task to kill to kill a game it’s running.

      There are many different ways to define “stable”. Linux is better in some, windows might be better in others.
