From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Last year Silverblue spent a whole month broken, the developers have no concept of rolling back bad updates.
Not for me it wasn't, when was that?
You probably didn't notice, but you couldn't install anything or update, rpm-ostree was broken.
Unless you fixed it manually, sure, there's an argument to be had that way.
I was looking for more like a date and Fedora version number, there was a short period for a few months in August-September last year where I didn't have an active Silverblue machine, but apart from that I've been running
rpm-ostree upgradeon something on a daily basis for the last two years.It didn't spew an error message, it failed completely silently. I was completely puzzled and wasted a day trying to figure out why I couldn't overlay a certain package.
