As someone who was a Linux sysadmin for several years, looking after a large fleet of RedHat boxes, I can say that the "don’t break your application" promise is BS. Their patches broke applications several times resulting in having to hold them back for months for it to be fixed.
The only Linux distro that actually lives up to that promise in my experience is Alpine.
