Not updating your system is not a magic solution either. I ran Linux Mint for 9mo and twice during that time I ended up in a bizarre situation:
1. the menu bar, or whatever it’s called (taskbar/dock equivalent) had disappeared on boot and I spent about 2 hours trying to get it back
2. the system simply wouldn’t boot into Cinnamon anymore; I ended up reinstalling
Bought a MBP and while it has some annoying quirks I don’t have any crazy ruined-my-day issues anymore.
