Recently, I said provocatively that installing updates frequently, unless it's security updates, is basically procrastination. The reason is that something can always break, and updates are unlikely to fix something you were struggling with.

Someone replied that they have some kind of ultra nerdcore distro that's atomic where they can always go back to a working state.

Yeah, not if with the update your shit gets encrypted. Which is what happened to me. Today. With the latest #signal #flatpak.
