There are always bugs, and many of the bugs in every release are due to specific configurations/hardware.
That is not intended to minimize the impact to the specific impacted individuals, but one should always expect, and accept, that a few individuals will hit those edge cases (if you wait for absolutely perfect for all possible use cases you never release any software). If one is constantly impacted, perhaps one should plan to test more regularly and provide patches to resolve the issues.

I can't even say "nice try" - more like "a completely lame and stupid attempt at being sarcastic" but then it's hard to expect smart things from open source fanatics who refuse to admit issues.Last edited by CochainComplex; 07 June 2020, 03:45 PM.

I'm perfectly aware of the great number of regressions in each kernel release but I just cannot let it pass when certain individuals say that this or that kernel release is fine just because it works for them. And many people cannot even file bug reports at all (or report them elsewhere) which means the kernel bugzilla doesn't even represent the real number of regressions/corner cases and the status quo which is quite upsetting.

Because there are exceptions good and bad on the opensource side but with opensource I or the community of affected users have the opportunity to fix it. With closed source we are depending on the goodwill of the software owner.
Speaking of proprietary software: when there's a feature which is broken for far too many people it almost always gets solved quite fast because ISVs need to sell software and they can't solve something which doesn't work for far too many. Again, not all the bugs are solved but since the number of users of proprietary software is usually a lot higher than the number of open source users, bugs in closed source software have more chances to be fixed.
