What is a stock Linux?

Want to be amazed. Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions

I mean, there are family trees...

It refers to a default install of any mainstream distribution, with few modifications. Eg you're bound to run into problems if you're running some strange window manager with a funky desktop. By comparison, I'd expect a base install with Gnome to mostly just work. Which it does with supported hardware. eg arandr(/whatever the GUI tool is) works fine for arranging monitors.

Anything considered stable.

I wanted to avoid OS flamewar so I wasn't too specific. But we are already there I fear…

Nobody it answering my question. Instead people point out Linux isn't without bugs either. Even I never claimed that.

It's without almost daily catastrophes. That's a big difference!
