    It’s about remembering that you did. I have no idea what changes I’ve made to my ancient Ubuntu box so if an upgrade borks my system again I’m SOL

    Also, a Nix upgrade won’t break your system, unlike Ubuntu

      Yeah, better to use Arch or nix to avoid system breakage 👌

        Nix, yes, because it has rollbacks

          If you need rollbacks, of course. I don’t.

            You need them like you need fire extinguishers

            My Ubuntu LTS upgrade failed. Would have killed for a rollback

              You need fire extinguishers if you have something worth saving.

                Sometimes I just want to roll back one piece of software. Try doing that with flatpak

                  Wouldn’t flatpak uninstall do that? Or what do you mean “roll back” in this case?

                    Uninstall uninstalls the package. I want to use an older working version
