this case had nothing to do with the video driver... for once
nope, this was ... idk what, the input driver, same problem on wailin as hix, and it only popped up like a week ago
i swear, i gotta start setting boundaries on updates
it should be, 99% nope
how about, i consider doing an update on equinox/solstice
next one is march 22, sounds good to me... now, how do i disable all the update prompt nag bullshit?
well, ya the whole reason i run arch is, its as close to upstream as can get. so when i file a wayland bug, easy for upstream to repro and not get stuck in LTS hell, 🎇 gets fixed in a week or so. generally, its been very stable for me
yeah, i have run arch and manjaro at several times but i'm done with it
i'm just turning off the automatic naggy shit
i'll update when i run into a bug with an app
i don't run servers out of my own pc that i didn't write, and i keep my language and its libraries well up to date
so what vulnerabilities are there?
browser... maybe need to check for browser version updates
discord and telegram manage that shit themselves
what else is there on a desktop machine that are actual security issues?
if it's a function issue, then the motivation is clear but security issues depend on actual remote access vulnerability, and that's almost nothing on a desktop machine
my problem with freezing updates, is the next update is *guaranteed to break
im a rolling release maxi
yeah, i'm over it, i can't just switch over in an hour to a rolling release from where i am right now and i am getting regular bullshits from updates and i just don't want to know there is an update at all, unless i fucking ask, at this point
idk how to explain this
back in like 2007 i first experienced X black screen after a kernel update on ubuntu
decades, literally 20 years i have put up with this shit
no, not any more... i draw a line in the sand today, it's over, i don't trust other programmers, and i have worked with many and have a great deal of experience that they are assholes and wrong
