I find that often the reason more-flexible OSes get a rep for fragility is they tend to be used by people like me: people who want to make their computer optimized in some way.
We tend to then configure to the limits of our knowledge and introduce delightful little edge cases. Less flexibility in an OS stops us from doing that, but then we’re unhappy for a different reason
The last time I built a laptop, I decided I’d leave the ultra-tuned stuff on my desktop and just use Manjaro with minimal customization. The only “fragility” I have experienced in 3 years is some frankly minor dependency hell: and that only with some AUR packages
I don’t think #Linux is actually fragile: it just won’t get in the way of me building a fragile system.

@cmconseils I couldn't even tell if you were wrong, this one is tough to verify or falsify because there were like, 5 different "original" versions of Tetris.
Did they mean the PC version? Between NA and EU there were two different distributors who each made their own version, not counting the original Russian freeware version.
The "original" Nintendo version? There are three of those. One Nintendo made for the NES console, one for the GameBoy, and an unlicensed NES version made by Atari that had to be recalled over a rights dispute.
Did *any one* of those releases have a manual that gave names to the blocks? I don't know! Maybe?! 😂
