However, eventually I also want to install updates. Unfortunately, on numerous occasions these updates have rendered the system unbootable. This is not a worthwhile tradeoff.
Are these "updates" or "upgrades"? If the problems are with updates, I would say that your experience is not typical of most Linux users.
Its a shame that you are having problems because the modern Linux experience is pretty slick.
- incrudible 6y agoThey were updates. I have attempted an upgrade once, it broke the system. Now I just do clean installs in favor of upgrades.
- jokethrowaway 6y agoI had the same experience with ubuntu upgrades. Something was always broken. I don't think you can blame linux, it's just a specific distro trying to do a task which is too hard and fail. Not sure if it's still the case with ubuntu, I just run Arch which is a rolling release distro; I decide when to upgrade and what it implies + their info on breaking updates is always punctual.
- cptskippy 6y ago> I don't think you can blame linux No, of course you can't but that's also the problem. It's always someone else's fault. If you try to upgrade Ubuntu you're told to RTFM. If you try to upgrade Raspbian, you're told you should have just installed a new image. Linux distros routinely offer up options and features that do not work and there's no responsibility to be had. With Windows, it's Microsoft's fault and they fix it (eventually).

- cptskippy 6y agoI see nothing has changed in 10 years.
