    Yeah because Linux doesn’t have hair pulling dependency issues. I love Linux, but come on folks.

        Ah, the other day I updated and both vim and emacs broke! Another update and vim was working in a few minutes, then emacs the next day. But still, I was quite surprised. Maybe I’d have to learn Nano!!

        It’s been less than a month since trying to run a server that was too old made me wish for death on Ubuntu.

      I’ve been running Linux for over four years and never run into this. What are people doing on their systems?

        I have been running Windows for over 20 years and don’t run into what is on the post either.

        Maybe anecdotal evidence isn’t an argument?

          You’re right, it’s not. It’s just with Flatpaks, Snaps and App Images being common these days, it’s pretty hard to break a Linux system. I feel like a lot of Linux criticisms are weirdly out of date by a decade or more.

          Dude, Nix is amazing. Like, want to update? No problem. Want to install a new WM? No problem. Switching from GNOME to KDE? Done.

          Like, not only is it crazy stable, it makes everything as easy as editing line a in a file.

          Love Nix.
