   @mischievoustomato@rebased.taihou.website tbf, that happens with nvidia too. Updating gpu proprietary drivers on linux is akin to playing Russian roulette with your system. Sometimes nothing happens, other times, it fucks everything.
   
   Being up to date is a spook. I doubt corps remain up to date on drivers. Desktop users are just beta testers.

     @cinerion @mischievoustomato the arch user sense is only if you're an unpaid betatester, which many linux users fall over themselves to be because fighting with their computers to keep them working is how they like to spend most of their time

     @allison@hidamari.apartments @mischievoustomato@rebased.taihou.website I might be wrong. iirc, LTS means the updates are comprised mostly of security patches and nothing else, meaning no new features. Am i mistaken? I haven't really looked into what LTS offers, so i'm just guessing.
     
     I guess then they do remain up to date, just not in the average arch user sense.
