I used to think I found the perfect, stable, boring system with Debian + KDE Plasma.
I installed it.
I left literally everything on default.
I booted it.
Everything worked out of the box.
I was looking forward to a perfect, stable, boring computing experience.
My cat walked across the keyboard and crashed the OS.
It rebooted to a blinking cursor and nothing else.

So if you’re hiring a software quality assurance engineer, her salary expectation is 80k kitty treats, a corner office overlooking a park with squirrels, and an assistant who will pet her at work and doesn’t mind getting their earlobes nibbled.
