>When can we have a system that updates itself without breaking stuff? We did, it was called CentOS.

  Anecdotal but we left centos for debian because it kept failing after kernel upgrades (machine would not come back / kernel hang: we had it so many times that we migrated completely off it): never had that issue with debian (or ubuntu) and I use both fulltime on servers and desktops (laptops). We had other issues with broken deps with yum as well. I think GPUs might be a different story but we have not needed those beyond the trivial usage, and those were not discrete.

    Were you using funny third party repositories?

      Nope, then it would be logical. Especially on servers it was all standard stuff.
