If only it were that easy...
- Mandatory software updates can change UIs that run on """your""" machines.
- I still remember when I was running Debian Unstable, the day I ran a routine upgrade which replaced GNOME 2 with GNOME 3, I couldn't find my way around, and couldn't even easily revert because Linux distributions ship all their software in synchronized packages with interdependencies, and aren't built around picking and choosing older package versions (especially foundational packages).
- Georgelemental 4y agoYou chose to run software with "unstable" in the name, when there is a free "stable" version you could use instead. You opted in to unexpected, disrupted changes
- nyanpasu64 4y agoChill, I was young and new to Linux at the time, and Stable had outdated versions of packages I wanted.
