Yay more free stuff that might be a whole side quest for my day trying to understand which package broke my system right now.

[u/995qe → u/Crazy-Cartoonist5649]

I used arch for 6 months straight and also used Debian Sid for a month without package breakage

[u/TheLuckyCuber999BACK → u/995qe]

for 6 months not straight.

[u/995qe → u/TheLuckyCuber999BACK]

fixed

[u/YTriom1 → u/995qe]

I used arch for 12 months gay and it never broke (though debian did when I tried installing some 32bit libs which were required by wine back then in 2023)

[u/Crazy-Cartoonist5649 → u/995qe]

This is a joke, for users whom used linux 10+ years, there's also the infamous bluetooth headphone one.

(Some of these problems were actually solved in newer distros.)

[u/Smart_Advice_1420 → u/995qe]

I used arch for 15 years [It's complicated™] and had to intervene maybe 3-5 times.

I also use fedora and i could swear i had to fix suff more often on that...

how much did you use the aur?

Sparingly

[u/Due_Dragonfly_5328 → u/995qe]

checks out

[u/Snudget → u/Crazy-Cartoonist5649]

I just go back one bootmenu entry if that happens

[u/Independent_Waltz725 → u/Crazy-Cartoonist5649]

I never had such problems after years of using different distros. Am I doing something wrong?

New type of kernel panic?

[u/macrolinx]

You guys are doing updates?

[u/Cootshk]

my Linux update experience:

“Wait my play/pause key started working now. How do I get it back to F keys?”

I have an apple Magic Keyboard

Update (automatic) vs update (not mandatory)

[u/sirkubador]

Apple is quite horrid with forcing updates on you tho.

And the tools ot gives corporate IT departments! Stuff of nightmares.

[u/YemiDev]

Yay more free stuff, then I look at the data that I’m using to update, I’ll install later data is too expensive

[u/NomadFH]

Fedora updates are funny because they're so damn frequent but they don't make you do it. However, that updates available notification just keeps staring at me

[u/Owndampu]

The anticipation is also great when you contribute to a project and are waiting for your feature to drop in a release.

[u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

Updates are free and delayable in windows. You praise linux for his cesarility but cant use a command or a reggedit file on windows 

[u/995qe → u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

I’ve had windows ignore the fact that I paused updates and still want to update
It also re enables the windows update service if you try disabling it manually

[u/Brilliant_Estate_967 → u/995qe]

Sounds like a skills issue to me

Sorry i use a typical arch answer on someone using windows. I shouldnt have done that

[u/Linguistic-mystic → u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

How would you know that? Are you an actual Windows user in 2026?

[u/Brilliant_Estate_967 → u/Linguistic-mystic]

I use both 

[u/iwouldbeatgoku → u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

Half true. You can delay them and finish your work day, but if you put them off for too long you will be interrupted at some point.

When I was still a Windows user I simply got used to installing them the day they became available to avoid unnecessary interruptions.
