Last time I needed to roll back was OpenSSL in Ubuntu 18.04 and that was on one system.
I don think I've ever had a problem that 4.1.2 solves.
I don't want to have yet another Linux OS to solve a problem that happens once a decade.
If I wanted an immutable OS, I'd use a container OS on which I'd run apps as containers. Oh, wait, I already have that.
- okasaki 3y agoI agree. Just like Wayland, they're pushing it for other reasons (breaking existing stuff, locking you in to the GNOME desktop, etc), and using spurious reasons to promote it.
- piaste 3y agoDepends on what kind of machine you're running. I purchased a 7900XTX on release day, with the Linux drivers being in a fairly rough state and new fixes being added daily. So, for the next 3-4 months, I was running Fedora Rawhide with the Koji repo added - about as bleeding edge as it gets, short of building locally from source. Rolling back definely came in handy once or twice. Once things stabilized, I rebased back to non-Rawhide Fedora 37 and stayed there. Then, a few weeks ago, I found out that AMD had been working on ROCM for the 7xxx series, so I've rebased to Rawhide again to play around with AI tools on the 6.6 kernel. I've also occasionally encountered non-critical bugs, suspected it might have been fixed upstream, and temporarily rebased to Rawhide just to check out if that was the case before reporting it. Pretty nice.
