The worst I did, a computer without turning it on and not being updated for 2 years. Long long ago. I think I even got a huge change, don’t remember if it was a big kernel version or the change to systemd. It basically just worked and there was a single thing I had to do that was in the news page.
I‘m having (minor) trouble with updating my machine about every year or two. That’s exactly the same experience I had with Ubuntu, when installing a major upgrade every 1-2 years. The only difference is, that with Ubuntu I had 20 broken packages and no clue what to do. Now I have trouble with one or two packages and the solution can be found right on the homepage of my Distro.
The only thing that breaks my workflow with every update is Gnome. But there’s a simple solution for that: Don’t use Gnome.
I haven’t updated my Manjaro install for past 2 months. Things are going to be crazy.
I haven’t updated my Arch install for almost 2 months. Things are going to be… seemless, probably. I do this all the time. It never breaks.

Arch works fine for those who know how to read.
I just updated. No issues this time. I just had to re-compile dump1090 and WSJT-X, but that’s expected. Dependencies.
Well, looks like I forgot for another month, but 3 months was no problem either.
It’s crazy hearing all the Windows hate but then hearing this.
This is why I prefer friendly and stable distros, I don’t have time to fix Linux every month.

I use Arch by the way.
