Well if a fresh install fucks up, then that means the distro itself has an issue. It’s very different from how updates fail on traditional systems, which are failures of the update system and not the distro itself.
In other words, any distro can be broken, or simply incompatible with your hardware. But atomic distros get rid of an entire class of failures, where the package manager’s update system bugs out and breaks the OS.
I’ve had bazzite kill it self twice so far on an update.
I’m very curious how this happened since I’ve never heard of an atomic distros borking on update. I’ve heard of atomic distros failing to install because of hardware incompatibility, but usually after it installs successfully, it’s smooth sailing after that.
Not atomic distros, at least not nearly the same risk. Every update is like a fresh install.
And that fresh install can also just fuck up. Have you never had a clean install go screwy? I know I sure the fuck have a few times over the years.
