    and then its like clockwork

    My brother in Christ, what are you talking about? Do you not install any software whatsoever? Do you not have a need to update it? Or maybe all your hardware works out of the box 100% of time? My setup full amd, pretty fresh (am5 + rdna3), but it still a gamble each time I’m launching new game on steam. Will it work out of the box? Will proton-cachyos just bork itself (happened week ago, still not sure what caused it, maybe mangohud)? Will my whole desktop just crash cause of bug in driver that specific to one extension in vulkan? Or maybe I simply won’t be able to see my desktop at all cause amd with LG tv is a bad combination? It’s a shitshow.

        It doesn’t, it updates package if you agreed to update. It looks like you misunderstand what I said. I meant that any update can bring issues, it’s not “I installed and it works forever”

          I use Bazzite at the moment, and it actually is that. No exaggeration.

          And if an update doesn’t work (hasn’t happened to me in the 2 or 3 years I’ve been on Bazzite), ostree means rollbacks are instant and failsafe.

          Bazzite also uses topgrade as the backend for its system update utility (just a “ujust” command), and it updates everything including flatpaks and firmware.

          So it really is just one click to update everything and it never breaks.
