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.

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.

Last bug I had was a power management daemon bug in kde and it was fixed the next day. It was also a desktop so only brightness control was broken (whoop-de-do My brightness didn't work on a desktop).

Not to bad after 6 months from when I first switched from Windows.

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 use Arch by the way.

I broke it the same way years ago! And now I haven't updated openSUSE Tumbleweed in 4 months and I know I won't have any issues when I do, there's no rush!
