      Yup and I am getting sick of hearing this even on Arch Linux. Like, mofo, you could literally run a snapshot or backup before upgrading, don’t blame us if you’re yoloing your god damn computer. Windows have exactly the same problem too and this is why we have backups. Christ.

      On my Arch Linux Install, I literally have a Pacman Hook that would forcibly run backup and verify the said backup before doing a system-wide update.

          Not necessarily, you still need backups or snapshots especially on home directory in case software have a nasty bug like deleting your data.

            in case software have a nasty bug like deleting your data.

            Laughs in isolated flatpak

            … but seriously most of my userspace software cant even access my filesystem? So even if some software blows up i doubt it could do any damage.

            The combination of nixos to have a practical unbreakable system and flatpaks to protect your userspace is pretty great. Highly recommend it. - But having backups is of course still advisable as a 3rd layer of protection, in case of hardware failure.

              Sure until you can’t with flatpak. Flatpak does not safeguard against system binaries and there are always risks associated with that.

              Honestly I think I am going to move on from Programming.dev, it’s filled with script kiddie like you. Good lord.

              Fuck y’all. Good evening.

                Sorry, thought you were talking about userspace software … my mistake.

                You seem stressed, hope your mood improves.

      Might be true, honestly. I’m on NixOS using the proprietary drivers for my 3080 and 4090. No issues, took one line of configuration. I do have to stay on X11 unfortunately until Wayland supports the real drivers at least (though i hear that’s being worked on, maybe already working?).

      For all of NixOS’ pain, it really does make some things awesome and simple.

    Never happened to me, yet. Every update ran correctly and if there were any package conflicts it will prompt you several choices.

    This is so true. I still think opensuse is great but it didn’t work out for me AT ALL. almost anything I tried to do faced with issues.
