If, by stable, you mean what's broken stays broken, then I agree, ;-)

I would argue that when there is no customer relationship, updates can be
more lax. I mean, I am working in the software industry. When someone is
paying you and you know they are using your system for actual results, you
are very careful with your updates.

Yes, and that happens everywhere, not specific to FLOSS. This is about
triaging when and which updates you apply to a working system. And
These are all just anecdotes. If there is a bug please report or fix it.
If it is a conceptual problem that leads to misbehaviour please discuss
here specific solutions to specific problems.
Otherwise this will just be a thread with "But me..." and "But I..."
back and forth. Keep that for LAU, pl
In my experience, an update can easily kill your system - and that happened
to me more than once. And since I am not a customer, developers on the
other end must not worry about what happens. I mean, nobody owes the user
anything. "Fix it yourself, man". And it's fair.

I actually don't know a Mac user who hasn't been burnt and they all use

No,
I am very serious, Neil. I am glad that your personal experience is
different. You were able to build a system that works well for you. As a
person who works a lot with multimedia, I can tell you that a proprietary
video editor will be in most cases much more stable than a floss one. And
why should

There's a reason I use FLOSS, and
Proprietary software does not automatically mean vendor lock-in. A function
to block stolen laptops has nothing to do with vendor lock-in. It is a
useful feature that, frankly, I would love to have on Linux as well.
But also no, I did not compare free software and vendor lock-in. I compared

I like funny war stories like these. Of course it's only funny if you're
not bitten yourself. :( I feel with you.
