One thing (out of many) I always hated about linux is the upgrades. I have to reinstall the entire operating system just to upgrade.
I'm using manjaro now, I want see what happens when there's a big version change.
- butz 6y agoSorry for ruining the surprise, but Manjaro uses a Rolling Release Development Model, so big version change probably won't happen.
- lerptime 6y agoAh I know. I figured there would be a big roll out of a huge feature someday though.
- jayp1418 6y agoI think ElementaryOS provides upgrades via their software center also same for Fedora+gnome/kde
- everybodyknows 6y agoI started feeling better about it after considering that system install for upgrade is my only test for recovery from drive loss under non-emergency conditions. Two root partitions; install to the spare, them populate it from backups (admittedly very fresh). If anything is missing, copy it on from old root, figure out why backups omitted it, and fix the scripts. Non-essential data e.g. read-only git tree clones goes on a third, large "cache" partition.
