I will be returning from a month-long vacation next week. Let’s see if my arch machine will break completely!

Last time I didn’t upgrade for a long while some drivers broke, maybe I’ll just switch to NixOS this time since it seems interesting. Does anyone here use NixOS? What do you think about it?

Most likely, nothing will happen. Arch breaking if you don’t updating 5x a day is more of a meme than a reality.

I’ve updated a client’s Arch server that hadn’t been touched for years, and it went just fine.

You’re the user, you’re in control, you’re empowered to make sure it won’t break after the update, you’re empowered to fix it if it does.

I update my arch computer maybe once a month for years and it works fine.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
