Are you kidding? I've had config files overwritten, x11/wayland/whatever just break after an update, wirelesss/power drivers just...change, sometimes to the point of having to recover it from a mono-screen tty, or updates fuck up the fs or something else that requires me to hit up single user mode.
- virtualwhys 6y agoHave been on Fedora for 10 years; the only thing that "reliably" breaks is the proprietary Nvidia driver. Otherwise Linux is pretty damn rock solid. These days "it just works" applies to Linux more than any other OS. And with the new Nvidia-less Dell Precision 5400 the system runs cool and quiet to boot. Linux isn't what it used to be...
- ravenstine 6y agoYeah, I got a black screen on boot on more than one occasion because of some change to either X11 or its config after updating. It's probably a rite of passage for a seasoned Linux user to figure out how to undo the damage to their `/etc/x11/xorg.conf`. (then again, I stopped using linux about 4 years ago, so maybe that's changed)
- teddyh 6y agoIt has changed, yes. Most people don’t even have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file anymore; it’s all autodetected now.
