alt Hacker NewsLinux is very much "pick your poison"
Run Debian Stable and it basically doesn't happen - only updates are actual security ones.
Run any rolling distro and you basically accept "with newest version comes the newest bugs"
And there is a whole bunch of distros between those extremes ,depending on how new you need your software to be (that being said, Debian Testing hits nice mix between "new enough" and "someone actually tested stuff before publishing").
Not only that, but compared to Windows 10, any Linux distro has objectively more bugs. Things like bluetooth not working, GPU-related failures, update issues, all the classics. While the current status of Linux is amazing, I still cannot recommend it to a non-tech person because I know something will fail at some point and then it's going to be my problem.
