I do sometimes feel disoriented when I check for updates on Debian or Ubuntu, since as a mainly Fedora user I tend to expect to see a bunch of updates waiting for me, but I don't really see any most of the time

@wolf480pl but I love seeing what new thing has popped up, even if it's probably nothing of importance

hmm so you like, read changelogs, to see what new features were added in each package?

@wolf480pl admittedly it's mainly on more bleeding-edge distros like fedora where I wonder if a random bug I've been experiencing is fixed

In my case, in the last few years regressions have been giving me more pain than old bugs, so I've come to dread updates...

Though for some reason I still run Arch on my desktops/laptops, and only use Debian on servers....

@wolf480pl I guess for me since I use newer hardware, distros with older kernels like Debian tend to be a bit annoying to deal with, missing sensors and whatnot

Things settle down 6 months to a year after release, but LTS distros tend to be on 2 year cycles so it takes a while and by the time they release with a new enough kernel and desktop environment, I end up with something new that won't work on those once again
