When I forget to update a Ubuntu VM for a week.

i’m like 80/20 if this is just going to straight bork the machine.

that’s what backups are for.

If it’s a vm then snapshots are a godsend. Update didn’t work? Revert.

So much hassle just for routine update. Windows seems more stable in comparison.

windows just completely screwed up another update…it’s like, what, the 5th or so this year alone? so almost every month or so they screw up real big.

including some that bricked systems completely…

at least atomic distros let you roll back without hassle…

More like 2nd or 3rd. And with Linux it’s a lottery every time.

that’s a gross overgeneralization:

with arch maybe, but not all distros are like that.

also important: W11 is a paid service. people are paying for those broken updates. the bar is a lot higher when money is involved.
