    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. 😎” but all you do is open Firefox and look at some boring website for two hours?

      This reminds me the other day I was in my house stressed because I couldn’t install Cyberpunk 2077 on Fedora (I’m new to Linux so I don’t know much and I had been distro hopping).

      My MIL was in the house and she saw my screen filled with open terminals, documentation, lutris, wine, everything you can imagine open because I had no idea how to solve a stupid issue.

      I heard her tell my wife “wow he must be pretty busy, he must be doig something really important and it’s so impressive that he can read code like that I didn’t know he could do that”

      All I wanted to do was to play some damn game bro…

      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.

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

    I used to run a yay -Syu on my system almost daily.

    Now, I run a pacman -Syu once every 2-3 weeks, and I only ever update a package from the AUR if I do need it updated or is there a serious vulnerability.

    Turns out I don’t have a real need to have my personal system running bleeding edge new software at all times. Sure, the updates are larger, but I no longer feel like risking my system stability on a daily basis. I’m a lot happier this way.

    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.

      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.

        Oh, that could be nice. Maybe they’ll let me reconfigure my Tumbleweed to Slowroll

    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

      I haven’t used (or updated) my laptop with Fedora for several months, I might just wipe it and install Nix.

        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

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

        I’ve done some 6k+ package updates fairly regularly with zipper never missing a beat. I know several other package managers that would have shat themselves long before that.
