Hey, as an old school linux guy, I am always curious:

How the fuck do y'all seem to manage to fuck Linux up so bad that you seem to be so scared of bricking your systems?

I mean, really. I see this complaint all the time. And in 25+ years of Linux, I can think of maybe once or twice where I meased something up with dd way back in the day when that was the only tool.for certain jobs.

How are y'all managing to mess yourselves up?

I don't have strong feelings one way or the other regarding Flatpak. I am just trying to understand why everyone seems so deathly afraid their linux systems will break when I have literally had way more windows systems just randomly do that to me over the years. How is your lived experience so radically different than mine?
