This is one thing I hate about maintaining any software in the Apple ecosystem. I have to install all these crappy updates so that I can make sure they didn't break my apps.
I bought a Linux laptop about a year ago and installed EndeavourOS (Arch based) with the KDE desktop environment. I expected a "rougher" experience, but it turned out to be more stable than my Macbook Pro Max M1: the exact opposite of what I anticipated.
My Macbook constantly suffers from window management issues, network related bugs, etc. Also i usually wait about a year or so before doing major macOS upgrades to prevent even more problems.
(of course I'm not implying Linux is issue-free... your mileage may vary.)
I suspect the bigger issue for Linux will just be the sheer number of distros to contend with. I use Flutter which supports Ubuntu out of the box with snap, but idk how well that is supported for other distros.

Everything else moved to flatpak, which solves the distribution issue.
