      Try having unattended-upgrades with a rolling distro.

          Just don’t upgrade for a while and you become debian

          It’s not like windows forcing you to reboot every Tuesday so Edge can come back

        Man, I do this all the time. snapper and grub-btrfs has enabled all kinds of amazing things. I’m so close to just doing:

        $ sudo crontab -l
        * * 3 * * pacman -Syu --no-confirm
        

        I’ve got separate offline backups and rescue disks, but I’m pretty confident that grub-btrfs will let me recover pretty quickly.

          grub-btrfs with timeshift didn’t helped me in my upgrade from fedora 38 to 39, when i rolled back with grub-btrfs, what loaded was weird mix of 38 and 39, that didn’t even let me browse my filesystem, got to disassemble laptop, get out ssd, use it as external, and even then half of the ssd was locked, ssd was new and chmod didn’t helped, even from live usb, had to copy files with testdisk and dd zero’s on whole disk for it to work again

            Databases are the definition of software dependancy hell. They exist in the zone of pain. I love Postgres; I hate administering Postgres.

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.
