I have had 750+ after not using my laptop for a couple weeks lol, and like 30 flatpack updates.

Funnily enough, flatpack took longer.

Last time my Ubuntu Linux broke anything during an update is over 15 years ago. Last time a version upgrade failed was probably too over 5-10 years ago. I literally can't remember those times

Me after updating 39 packages and therefore killing my audio:

Use glorious nixos. Never fear anything breaking. And even if you manage to do so just roll back in the boot menu or terminal.

Ahh until something hangs when updating grub. Had it happen twice over the last couple of months. No real biggie as it's not the hardest thing to recover from / easy enough to pull my config and rebuild.

Maybe it's me, maybe it's Nixos or Grub.

That's why I use Gentoo. If something breaks I just boot system from external drive and solve the issue. Or even if bootloader breaks I can use kernel from external drive, but boot into main system.

Why would you update grub?

Also I am not sure if I am even using grub. Does systemd have a bootloader?

Normal people don't change their bootloader that often.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, systemd-init. Pretty sure the GUI installer uses systemd-init -- never broke once for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah I have the gui install. Stable as fuck

I'll probs have to migrate back over, grub will be written to on every rebuild for what I'm assuming is adding entries. Not sure of the inner workings all I know is it's caused me headaches a couple of times now.

it didn't break anything "so far"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Don't worry. When you reboot, your kernel will have magically disappeared!

Spell it with me D-E-B-I-A-N

Let me guess, you use Arch when writing your bronie fanfics?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nope. Look at pfp.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Imagine having pfps enabled while browsing Lemmy. Some people are wild.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

UBUNTU?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Or something not working, so you ignore the issue and update around it until the updates allow it to be fixed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago
