I had an SSD die on me a few months ago (boot sector got corrupted). It took forever for me to figure out what was wrong… It was a Samsung SSD, but since it was 13 years old, it’s hard to say it was a quality issue.
Kubuntu before the SSD broke, now Debian Unstable.
Yes, if you go and see my old post I’ve had a tricky issue with Apt, but I fixed it.
I wouldn’t really reccomend Debian Unstable because it has some problems with dependencies in Apt, but it usually works if I compile software from source or install on Flatpak.
If you are courious, I ditched Kubuntu because it was pushing snaps over dpkg and do-release-upgrade had some issues, my friend managed to nuke his install TWICE by doing a release upgrade
Proud Linux user since 2019.
Never broke an install to the point of non return, except when my SSD literally died
PSA: Never buy WD green SSDs

My SSD literally broke electrically and prevented the system from POSTing. It only lasted ~18 months
Jesus, that’s ridiculous!
So, what is your distro, if I may ask? :D

Damn, Ubuntu is so much crap these days.
Also, quite a few folks run Debian Unstable and derivatives, which is a curious trend.
