Two of these seem unclear if update or just reboot triggered an error? The last one (middle one, machine boots but is unstable) - is also unclear - as far as I can tell the user doesn't report if the system still runs OK with old kernel? (and all of these appear to affect other distros than stable Debian or lts Ubuntu - I've certainly seen a few issues when running Debian testing or sid. Updates without the "stable" part aren't always stable!).
- trap_goes_hot 4y agoOkay fair enough, my general point was that its not exactly rare (as many have implied) for Linux users to have problems with updates. A cursory internet search links to forums filled with people having issues.
- e12e 4y agoOh, I've had issues with Manjaro Linux for example (I inherited a laptop at work that I didn't immediately reinstall) - but Arch/Manjaro are rolling, bleeding edge distros - it's like using beta channels of windows or being an early adopter of macos releases. My point was specifically about Debian stable and Ubuntu LTS. Ed: And of course errors found and bugs filed in Debian sid(unstable) or testing - or Ubuntu non-lts contribute to those bugs not affecting those that run stable releases.
