All software has bugs. Modern “vanilla” distros aren’t especially buggy though. Install Mint or Ubuntu, if you need a network adapter make sure it supports Linux, then just use it like you would any other system.

Could you be more specific? What bugs have you found? What distros have you tried?

Maybe mine is a weird way to explain it, but here it is. It’s up to the rules to decide what is an unfair advantage and what is not. You can make sports categories based on gender, or body weight. You could theoretically make them according to muscle mass, or maybe even blood androgen concentration. But here the rules only say “men and women”; if you think some people might still have an unfair advantage under that scheme, that’s okay, but going down the lazy path of leaving basically everything unchanged exept you restrict some women from participating in “women’s” sports is the worst possible way to handle it. It alienates people by refusing to grow beyond an outdated model.
