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.

I agree with you. Every time I would encounter a distro that "works out of the box" only for it to crash and make me lose all the files in my hard drive.
Until I installed manjaro KDE. I haven't had any crashes so far, I've been using it for months!
I know people say that Manjaro sucks and etc, but it's the only one I've used that doesn't crash, how am I gonna use something the community says is better if I don't know if it will crash 2 months down the line?
Honestly I never expect any system to work out-of-the-box, not even Windows.
Most of the time if I see something JustWorks(TM) I suspect it is using some general ass drivers that may work, but with functions lost.
Probably this isn't the case anymore, but it still gives me a lot of work to verify everything is REALLY fine and dandy.
Seconding nobara. Garuda also worked out of the box for me and also mint. (Except that I had to force update the kernel for mint because some stuff wasn't working with the recommended one)
