Damn, how many packages you feeding that thing. Post the neofetch ๐Ÿคฃ

Arch beenn feeling this way over last few weeks with all the kde updates basically adding "5" to end of their name.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's even worse when you have 60 packages to just hit enter to and then one that defaults to no for a conflict and you have to do it all over again.

I have been ignoring virtualbox for months now because something about incompatible dependencies

Probably a kernel 6.5 issue? I have to boot into 6.4 for it to work.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah with that one update a few days ago that required --overwrite..forget which package it was.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Did I see that right: they added it and then removed it a few days later? Could be the other way round too.

My arch install every 5 minutes

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

while [ true ]; do pacman -Syu --noconfirm; done

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah no i want to know if an update breaks my system

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Only cowards check update notes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, you will.

[โ€“] derpgon 1 points 1 year ago

You'll know for sure, don't worry

I use Slackware. What are these "updates" you speak of?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

But you updated glibc, right? Right?

[โ€“] derpgon 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Probably slacking somewhere...

^I'll see myself out^

I've been using pop OS and it is actually kind of frustrating how I can't seem to go a single day without notifications in the bar saying there are updates to install.

A couple of days ago I did all of the updates, it asked for a reboot, I rebooted, and when it booted back up it had more updates than it had when I updated it.

I think I need to turn the notifications off and I'll just update when I remember to update.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Probably a kernel update that required a reboot, then a bunch more updates that had a dependency on the new kernel. I usually just click update when I jump on in the morning and let it do its thing before I get started for the day.

I literally didn't update my fedora distro on my laptop for 2 months (because I didn't have much use of it those last months) and I have 500+ packages to update, and on my PC with an arch-based distro, after 5 days, I have already 100 packages to update

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I havenโ€™t used (or updated) my laptop with Fedora for several months, I might just wipe it and install Nix.

Damn it, I shuld turn my PC on and update it ๐Ÿ˜…. This is gonna be pain, after 2 months.

I hate that. Can't they make a "haskell-all" package?!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good Idea, why shouldn't there be something like that? It would also keep the modules from being desynced if your mirrors haven't updated them all

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I'll just stick with Debian and Fedora

All haskell

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Me jumping from debian stable to sid

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

What distro are you using? I update on a weekly basis and usually have 10 - 15 updated packages.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I like Fedora but the daily notifications about updates is annoying

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Haven't updated in 2+ months... It's gonna be a carefully read when I do it ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

This is why I use bazzite on my gaming computers now. My home server crap is still a nightmare though.

[โ€“] derpgon 1 points 1 year ago

My "home server" RPi 4b been running for two years without a restart or an update. It feels fine ๐Ÿ™‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

only 2.1 updates, man they really rolling out updates if they using non integers

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Does anyone else run updates and watch the screen like you're some movie hacker?

Then when it's finish, you crack your knuckles and go, "It's about time. ๐Ÿ˜Ž" but all you do is open Firefox and look at some boring website for two hours?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Laughs in Kinoite with automatic upgrades on (it's safe, flatpaks and most distroboxes too). I reboot sometimes and it's all done in ~20sec.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's safe until someone oopsies the repos and mislabels the i386 packages as x64.

Ubuntu did this a few months back. I spent hours trying to fix it afterwards. Seems they got it fixed decently quick so it was likely just bad timing on my part.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's safe because it's immutable with intrinsic rollback. Also fedora.
