So i did my update today. Due to plasmashell being broken for me right now. I had to roll back, thank you Timeshift. So it got me wondering what day of the week works best for you all to update?

Did apt-listbugs show any warnings? Or was this a totally unexpected breakage?

nope didn't flag any in apt-listchanges ether. kwin-wayland has been giving me trouble for a bit but X11 has been fine. my plan is to try again this weekend and do some troubleshooting and file some bug reports. The only thing different was it was just a lot of packages today (244) that want to update.

i normally Yolo update whenever since my system is backed up six ways from Sunday. i run everything and i mean everything on raid 0. I'm liked begging for my system to fail but since I have my whole system backed up to a SAN volume mounted via iSCSI. everything is backed up every 3 hours and most important documents go directly to the NAS and replicated to another NAS elsewhere.
