Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

I’ve used a few different distros over the years: Debian, Ubuntu, Neon, openSUSE Leap

Never once has a major version upgrade ever gone 100% successfully. Even on a bog standard system with no 3rd party repos or niche hardware. I don’t know why it’s still so difficult

    @turkalino @kiol I tried many distros, but some sticked with me: EndeavourOS, CachyOS and Manjaro, probably due to their rolling release nature so the updates come gracefully & gradually, but on my side, never once had an update that failed in any way
