You can toss Fedora in there too.
Me? NixOS. No grass for me, thanks.
Grass? Sorry. Grass isn't reproducible.
My brother in ~~christ~~GNU+Linux, have you ever been outside?
I have had zero breakage on vanilla Fedora ever since switching to it years ago, it's probably the most stable yet cutting edge distro I have ever used. I seriously have no idea what you're talking about and would love to see some examples of this supposed frequent breakage.
same experience, I daily drive Fedora and it's my first linux distro. Have had a great experience especially after most of the software is on flatpak. Let's see how that telemetry proposal goes.
If it's so famous, it should be trivial to gather a bunch of the more egregious examples of general update/upgrade breakage. Again, would you mind linking to them? I can neither personally remember them, nor is Google any help.
All I can find are minor, individual, dependency issues that are common with absolutely every Linux distro. I'm actually a little surprised how few of those Google digs up.
It would be rather worrisome if the foundation for an industry behemoth like REHL would commonly suffer from the problems you, and only you, are claiming without any kind of evidence. So, please, end my "delusion" and show me the error of my ways by showing us these common issues.
Are these issues in the room with us right now?
Wow, "Google doesn't index Reddit, Linux Forums and Mailing Lists" is a new one. Good job, I genuinely can't tell if you're a master troll or an giant idiot.
Regardless, as someone who has been active in the Linux community since around ~97, I'm at least certain that you are full of shit.
That's a thing you said, and easily the dumbest thing I have read all day. Well, apart from almost everything else you have said, of course.
Sure, with that mountain of evidence you have provided to conclusively prove your point, I'm going to have take a nice, long, break from this 'discussion' and use it for self reflection.
It's incredibly long stretches of smooth sailing interspersed by brief intervals of banging my head against the desk.
...which generally isn't nix's fault it's just that fitting the absolute state that is python package management into something sensible is an exercise in futility.
Oh and occasionally I have to doctor around a bit during upgrades because my EFI partition is only 100MB, someone should have warned me. Deleting old generations and windows boot loader language packs and fonts generally does the trick.
