I'd like to one day have the confidence to do upgrade -y
- If you haven’t special requirements then just use Debian stable, and never be worried about an update again.
  
  Headline: MAJOR EXPLOIT FOUND IN NEW LINUX KERNEL VERSION!
  
  Debian: business as usual...
  
  TBH I don’t even remember the last time some actually important bug came out on the kernel, long gone are the days of ptrace-kmod.c and hatorihanzo.c
  
  A while back, somewhere around Linux 5.17, some Intel chips in laptops caused the Linux kernal to rapidly set backlight brightness to 100% then zero. This flashing would likely cause it to break. That's the last one I remember only a year or so ago.
  
  This only effected arch an it's varients to my knowledge though, as they were the first to recieve the update, and it was fixed very quickly. To my knowledge nobodies systems were broken from this.
  
  Ah yes, just like that time when Mandrake kernels burned the cd drives..

  Or if you like beating your head against a brick wall constantly NixOS is really hard to brick. Any update that fails can just be reverted with a reboot.
  
  Of course the downside is poor documentation, and nothing at all works like you expect it to work. It's like hey, you want to learn Linux again from scratch? And by the way no two things work the same.
- Balls of steel or ironclad backups.
  
  Or, simply, masochism.
  
  You forgot apathy. That's what works for me.
- I believe in you
- I always do that. Is that bad on pop os/fedora? I wouldn't know any different. Selectively choose what to update?
  
  Apparently apt has a stroke sometimes. I don't think I've had an update fuck up this bad but it's better to read the output so you know what changed in case something stops working.
  
  That’s by no means a routine upgrade though, the guy just “upgraded to” backports which you’re not even supposed to do. Not comparable to the soothingly boring apt upgrade of Debian stable.
  
  True, it's just an example to always look at the output. I've definitely used that in Fedora to reinstall packages when something stopped working after an upgrade.
  
  (Maybe this doesn't happen by itself in Debian but I wouldn't trust Ubuntu for example)
