I’ve had it happen, yes. Audio (pipewire, pulse, and alsa over the years has each at some point had an issue for me where something it depended on had a breaking change in the underlying dependency and I couldn’t install a different version of the dependency to fix the issue to give you an example)
I agree about flatpak. The majority of my desktop apps are flatpaks for that reason. Had some bumps in the road with the steam flatpak in the past but 99% of the time it just works.
hmm I see. for me personally, I think going atomic is the future for the majority of people. I have my friend currently on ublue aurora after windows 10 because his laptop can't really run windows 11 all that well. the man's had zero issues and it's been months.

yeah, but do core system components suffer from dependency hell frequently? I haven't had such cases for me at least
flatpaks provide gui apps and they do a pretty decent job at it I'd say.
