What OS do you recommend for desktop Linux. I’m mostly into protecting my data.

Debian. Not Ubuntu - just Debian. Or Linux Mint Debian Edition (Debian with Cinnamon on top).

Calm down, Satan.
My, uh, friend needs an explanation

Bad JavaScript code will create this text when a type conversion error occurs. A developer glancing at data in a production database will see it as evidence of an insidious bug in their code.

Break. Up. Windows.

Jesus fucking Christ, is Windows just 100% vibe coded now? How do those fuckups keep happening? It's honestly unbelievable...
I'm so glad I decided to move away from it - I still have no idea what I'm doing in Linux, but then again I never had a lot of idea about what I'm doing in Windows either, so it's all good
Monopolies. That’s what happens when you’re allowed to patent software.

Everyone I’ve read that’s used Fedora has liked it. I’d consider it on a secondary machine or something maybe.
Cachy has been awesome, I’d recommend it if you decide to change distros in the future. I’m enjoying Arch as a base more than Ubuntu for sure. I haven’t tried anything based on Fedora though other than Bazzite which is immutable, so I’m not sure if that really counts.
Nix seems cool but its big selling point that I’ve read is easy reproduction which I don’t think I’d utilize much. I might be missing something, but Arch seems more for me personally.
Nix isn't just for reproduction. It has immutability so if you break your system configuration you can revert to a previous profile, and the way installations are managed allows you to install software that uses incompatible versions of the same dependencies at the same time.

Weird that they started pushing bad updates after they fired all those people
Must be a coincidence

What distro, and how do you like it compared to windows so far? (And I’m assuming you’re not using Arch since you didn’t say anything)
Classic recommendations are Linux Mint and Ubuntu, I think Zorin as well, but there are many others. For starters which one you use won't matter too much, because more likely than not you're gonna switch again.
I started with Ubuntu because it's easy to use and I was new. One can argue over the pros and cons. I'm looking at Manjaro at the minute, an easy to install and beginner friendly Arch distro. Really, you can just try most of them out online though. Check out DistroSea and you can actually emulate the OSs with several desktop environments right in your browser.

How long till Linux is VC as well
Linux is free open source mate.

How does Microsoft regularly. Was up this badly?
Do all companies (Apple/linux) do it to but we don’t hear about it because of the smaller user base or is Microsoft literally this incompetent?
If they are, why can they fix the root issue?
The is a genuine question that I don’t have the answer to.
This kind of shit happens with a similar frequency... on Arch Linux. It's rolling release, shit happens sometimes. archlinux.org's homepage actually lists past major packaging issues.
Debian however is rock-fucking-solid. But so is Windows Server, I hear. The problem is that Microsoft is treating Windows Home/Pro like a rolling release distro, and the users are guinea pigs. I guess Microsoft is right though, their users will eat it up 'till shit is spilling out from both ends, so why bother?

There have definitely been some disastrous Linux updates. There are so many distros being managed in different ways by different people in different sized teams, bad releases are going to happen all the time. A better comparison with windows might be how many bad kernel updates have there been, and those are usually vetted by distro maintainers before they get to users. I do remember one MESA driver update caused damage to display panels on certain laptops with intel iris graphics.

Any reason to not just run windows server for desktop use?
