Fedora 41 KDE had a neat bug on intel graphics where a kernel update caused black screen on boot. no fix, just a “downgrade or update to beta”. those are the issues that truly make linux desktop a non starter for most people.
i use it because i know how to fix it, but linux desktop needs a proper recovery system for normal users to handle that kind of problem.
- bfrog 10mo agoWell intel did layoff 45k people or so recently.. surely no coincidence

We kinda already have that for most immutable distros. Fedora silverblue can "downgrade" to an older Fedora version by booting into an older version. This is not foolproof (you can mess up the btrfs volumes) but it will cover most cases of update induced errors and broken versions. The only other non-immutable distro with a recovery partition is PopOS, though immutable distros seem like the better option here.
