I've been living in Linux-land for the last 30 years, and I've never really believed my wife when she says that updates just break things and tries to avoid them to no end.

Why does Microsoft do that? It seems like it would be bad for business.

    You have been using Linux for the past 30 years but you are shocked that updates can break things? What?

    It happened once in the last ten years (thanks Nvidia). But I just rolled back to my previous btrfs snapshot and kept on computing until it was fixed a day or two later.

    But forced breaking updates the first Tuesday of every month sounds like a really bad user experience.

    Things were different back in the 90s before loadable kernel modules. Online updates weren't much of a thing, either. You'd just install that new slackware release over your old root partition anyway.

    Yeah no OS is immune to broken stuff. Sigh, I can't figure out how to fix my Linux phone after being dumb enough to try to install vs code for classes. Can't upgrade to the next version because of it.
