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.

Is decent stability included? I very much doubt so.
KDE has never been stable for me. I can find a bug within 10 minutes if I search properly. On the other hand, GNOME is stable for me as long as I don't use sus extensions.
EDIT: just create a very wide vertical panel and try to move a clock widget in and out of it. Sometimes it'll just disappear and often it will crash Plasma.
Yes, it has bugs still, specially for widgets and stuff like that. But it's very stable if you don't mess around with those things and just use it.
I personally don't consider it stability at all. I guess everyone has a different definition of it.
