I’m responding to someone pretending their system randomly breaks in the morning as per magic. This simply doesn’t happen, period.

A Linux system stays the same unless you change it.

I also personally disagree that updates break system by the way. I have used Arch for more than a decade and has yet to experience one of this alleged frequent disturbance.



You said magic twice attacking me but I said it zero times. It's just not even a "good" bad read of what I did say.

What I'm talking about is changes because of updates, yes. Auto updates, or ones I did, or an update to specific software that caused a library update to break something else. All that counts as "me changing it" sure. Like I said I guess I need a system a little less prone to breaking because of my actions. I'm a programmer not a linux admin.
