Your experience its quite limited and you probably need to know how to properly update ubuntu since most of the issues I've found with it (since I started using it ~12 years ago) are usually issues caused by lack of drivers (which gets solved in 15 minutes once you know where to click) once those are solved it is sturdy and you can keep it runing for several months without having to restart it or it becoming unusably slow as it hapens with windows systems after about 4 days of uptime

This comment is funny to me because it was up to date and the particular issue wasn’t driver related: it was specifically that after not touching it at all for a couple months each subsequent time I logged in it would randomly lock up, took about 15min to boot.

This is practically guaranteed to be "driver" related, unless it was only one specific binary that was "locking up".

[westoncb]

It would lock up as in just take an extremely long time to do certain things in the UI. That sounds like a pretty odd way for a driver issue to manifest, but maybe I'm missing something.

Ah the old ‘you are holding it wrong’ of linux.
