Also, in Linux you can update and keep doing stuff. Even a full distribution version update! I remember playing Stellaris at the same time that Kubuntu was being updated to the 22.04 LTS version.
- vetinari 3y agoIt is not safe. Few years ago (around ~2016-17), there was that Nvidia driver update, that killed Xorg during the process. Yes, I was running the update in the gnome-terminal, and it didn't end up well, I spent next few hours piecing the system together from a live usb. For next few years, I was running updates inside screen, just to be sure.
- jraph 3y agoI certainly keep using my computer during updates but it's not advisable and you should be prepared to random and more or less subtle breakages. Maybe less on non rolling distros. On openSUSE Tumbleweed, it's usual that Network Manager stops being usable from the KDE GUI after big updates.
