    So your GF is in favor of uncontrollable security issues and massive user scrambling to fix whatever your update fucked up on a daily basis?

    There’s a reason updates are batched, this is so fuckdamn shortsighted.

      Yes. And I like to be the one doing that on my system.

        And I like updates that are actually tested on silicon before they’re rolled out. Rolling distros don’t do that. In that environment, YOU are the tester.

        And You must be a fucking unemployed savant to be able to check every line of code being pushed to you daily.

          I get this feeling from a lot of the posters here.

          Actually, I use Arch cause I’m too lazy for other distros (I’ve tried all the main ones).
          The rolling nature and lack of distro-specific configs makes it much easier to automate the entire process.
          I run my update.sh script before I install new packages, or when a news entry pops up in my terminal about a change requiring manual intervention.
          So about once a month I type in update.sh, monitor the messages for 5 minutes and reboot.

          Literally the only issue I had so far was a software from 2021 that didn’t compile on the first try cause it expected an older version of Java.
          Other than that, it’s the least buggy distro I know.

            So, your personal computer then? Just one instance?

            Do you think that holds up when you are supporting a legacy environment of 200+ VMs and iron with code written by the cheapest consultants for 20+ years?

            Because that is a very different experience.

              No, I use it on my personal computer as well as my server and that of my org, with a nextcloud, website and forum.

              No. I never claimed rolling release is right for every system.

              No shit that’s a different experience, who in this thread is suggesting running fucking Arch on their server farm? Lmao

            So you feel comfortable doing that in a prod environment where you support 200+ linux boxes?

            I mean IDGAF what you do on your local PC but a business environment is no place for rolling updates with the exception of the most egregious zero days, and STILL there needs to be on-silicon testing.

              In a business environment with 200+ linux boxes, it doesn’t matter which Linux distro you like best. Cause you’re going to have to run a system with enterprise-level support and wide adoption to cover your ass and find employees who are familiar with it.
              So that leaves Red Hat, Suse or Ubuntu as your only options.

              When was this talk ever about a production environment??? Of course i wouldn’t run fucking arch on a server or similar. But the benefits bof arch on my PC outweigh the disadvantages
