I mean the problem isn’t the update process itself, it’s Nvidia changing and breaking things that we have no idea. You only know when you boot up and suddenly something that was working such as a display arrangement gets messed up. After a few years using Linux you get used to cheroot using a live USB and downgrading Nvidia. Would immutable distros solve this?

Been using arch for a long time, it never really break itself. Even changes that require manual intervention are usually minor “we have changed how java pkgs are listed please reinstall according to your needs”

Flagships from 2018 still run smoothly and are only degraded by stupid software restrictions like these

I meant using MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, of course

only glitch recently is that I couldn’t get multi-account containers to work. 2 years ago I couldn’t even open setting’s menu under wayland, so it’s been evolving

Firefox is surprisingly one of the few programs that has no/almost no glitches in wayland with nvidia.

Yeah I use workspaces too, it’s just that each of them have 2 windows placed besides each other as if each were a “normal sized” display

Arch

I find that bugs in linux programs (and they will happen regardless of distro) are more easily tweaked in systems that do minimal modifications to upstream programs and keep them updated regularly with what the developers release

Also AUR makes it easy to install pretty much anything without having to add ppas, new repo links, etc
