Rofl, like Unix OSes never have problems. Even developers, who are among the most tech savvy users, tend to drag their feet on installing updates unless forced.

i was mostly making a joke about how this absolutely is not a common problem on any platform, not to this degree. and at least when my Arch and Nix systems go down i don’t have anyone to blame but myself. sure, systems have update issues, but a kernel level meltdown that requires a safe mode rescue? that’s literally never happened to me unless it was my fault
