For me, at this point in my history of installing Linux, this is about as unsurprising as it gets. You've had an incredibly lucky history in this regard (or perhaps are younger than I am by 5-10 years).

I have never had such a problem. And I have been installing Linux (distros) since 2003.

My point wasn't that you've had that specific issue but rather that similarly strange issues were/are incredibly common.
