    Does anyone else run updates and watch the screen like you're some movie hacker?

    Then when it's finish, you crack your knuckles and go, "It's about time. ๐Ÿ˜Ž" but all you do is open Firefox and look at some boring website for two hours?

    This reminds me the other day I was in my house stressed because I couldn't install Cyberpunk 2077 on Fedora (I'm new to Linux so I don't know much and I had been distro hopping).

    My MIL was in the house and she saw my screen filled with open terminals, documentation, lutris, wine, everything you can imagine open because I had no idea how to solve a stupid issue.

    I heard her tell my wife "wow he must be pretty busy, he must be doig something really important and it's so impressive that he can read code like that I didn't know he could do that"

    All I wanted to do was to play some damn game bro...

    If you have the gog version it's not particularly user friendly to get those up and running if you're a new Linux user

    Here's the thing - you were learning some valuable troubleshooting skills and some details about the workings of your operating system. The reward was playing a game.

    One day you'll realize you've passively developed enough skill to use on the job.

    I am also on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I think the massive update yesterday was the aftermath of the glibc bug.

    [โ€“] chrishazfun@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

    Always a glibc or grub update that messes everything up the most lmao

    Damn, how many packages you feeding that thing. Post the neofetch ๐Ÿคฃ

    Arch beenn feeling this way over last few weeks with all the kde updates basically adding "5" to end of their name.

    [โ€“] Tb0n3@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    It's even worse when you have 60 packages to just hit enter to and then one that defaults to no for a conflict and you have to do it all over again.

    [โ€“] Sanguine@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

    Oh yeah with that one update a few days ago that required --overwrite..forget which package it was.

    [โ€“] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I have been ignoring virtualbox for months now because something about incompatible dependencies

    Did I see that right: they added it and then removed it a few days later? Could be the other way round too.

    [โ€“] kplaceholder@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    I used to run a yay -Syu on my system almost daily.

    Now, I run a pacman -Syu once every 2-3 weeks, and I only ever update a package from the AUR if I do need it updated or is there a serious vulnerability.

    Turns out I don't have a real need to have my personal system running bleeding edge new software at all times. Sure, the updates are larger, but I no longer feel like risking my system stability on a daily basis. I'm a lot happier this way.

    Timeshift set to create backup automatically before applying system updates..anything bricks I load my last save an trouble shoot when i have time

    while [ true ]; do pacman -Syu --noconfirm; done

    [โ€“] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Yeah no i want to know if an update breaks my system

    [โ€“] AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

    Only cowards check update notes.

    Don't worry, you will.

    I've been using pop OS and it is actually kind of frustrating how I can't seem to go a single day without notifications in the bar saying there are updates to install.

    A couple of days ago I did all of the updates, it asked for a reboot, I rebooted, and when it booted back up it had more updates than it had when I updated it.

    I think I need to turn the notifications off and I'll just update when I remember to update.

    [โ€“] enki@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

    Probably a kernel update that required a reboot, then a bunch more updates that had a dependency on the new kernel. I usually just click update when I jump on in the morning and let it do its thing before I get started for the day.

    [โ€“] war@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Maybe this could be something for you?

    [โ€“] Pfnic@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago

    Oh, that could be nice. Maybe they'll let me reconfigure my Tumbleweed to Slowroll

    Damn it, I shuld turn my PC on and update it ๐Ÿ˜…. This is gonna be pain, after 2 months.

    I literally didn't update my fedora distro on my laptop for 2 months (because I didn't have much use of it those last months) and I have 500+ packages to update, and on my PC with an arch-based distro, after 5 days, I have already 100 packages to update

    What distro are you using? I update on a weekly basis and usually have 10 - 15 updated packages.

    [โ€“] qaz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I've done some 6k+ package updates fairly regularly with zipper never missing a beat. I know several other package managers that would have shat themselves long before that.

    I like Fedora but the daily notifications about updates is annoying

    [โ€“] devfuuu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
