Rolling release master race checking for updates several times per day.

Cannot update 600 packages because library-you’ve-never-heard-of conflicts with what-the-fuck-even-is-a-polypterodaclib?

KDE's qt6 transition sure was something

polypterodaclib

Fucking hell, I nearly spat out my coffee at that one word. Bravo.

I haven't had those issues on Tumbleweed. It gets massive updates all the time but everything seems to go just fine.

Whenever something breaks/doesn't feel right, I'll just reinstall the OS and it'll work again

Rolling release, update every now and then, 4000+ packages is common. Nothing ever breaks.

Thanks zipper!

I'm guessing you mean zypper?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

I did.

However my zipper never breaks either. So both work, although in that case it's loosely related.

emerge --sync?

i haven't checked for updates on one of my machines for like 7 months now. some packages are partial upgrades (hilariously, xz is currently on the backdoored version and I don't care to fix it)
the thing survived multiple 500+ package upgrades from partial upgrade state and has been running for like 2.5 years now
