Linux update is more like… “uh oh, please don’t break anything, I just got my graphics drivers working last week.”

This take is based on a true story.

That is the same with nvidia drivers on windows nowadays. They keep pushing updates that just break shit.

Ok so I’m not alone. I’m currently watching my Ubuntu burn to the ground :(

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Nope. Had my games constantly crash my PC after an update. Had to ddu the whole thing and go back to a known working driver from a month ago. Not updating that shit anymore unless strictly required

When I got the latest kernel on my Arch laptop, the touchpad didn't work for a month (luckily it was fixed by installing the LTS kernel)

But I like to stay on the bleeding edge, otherwise I would have chosen Debian

That's true for any update though.

it is probably me only ever using igpus but the linux graphics stack never broke on me, always worked flawless. nvidia users in the other hand, have the opposite experience

Isn't it more like "I haven't updated in a while, let's see what's new"?

Then I hope it doesn't break stuff.
