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.

Something doesn't work so instead of fixing I am looking for alternatives...
So my mom shouldn't use GNU/Linux because she can't fix bugs?
exactly, otherwise she needs your help
Yes that is what I did with Windblows, I'm tired of removing all the adwares they bundled every updates and for the final nail in the coffin they integrated copilot with it, I had enough with Windows so I just switched to Linux instead
Have fun with linux then.
Your plasma desktop crashing with dual screens is something that's not normal. I use two monitors all the time and my desktop has never crashed.
It's probably on me, I might've misconfigured something and I don't think I can fix it
Unless you did something really stupid and deleted system libraries or something like that, no configuration should cause crashes. Please make a bug report about it at bugs.kde.org. You might not be able to fix it yourself, but crashes are often relatively easy to diagnose and fix for a developer.
