Hey all. |

Regarding updates breaking the system, NixOS might be worth a try. |
| 4 |
The functional nature of the package manager there lets you try out an |
| 5 |
update, either live or in a VM, as well as roll back to the old |
| 6 |
configuration in case of problems. Due to the design there's no risk |
| 7 |
in building updates on a stable system, the build process won't |
| 8 |
interfere until all the updates are built and you decide to try it out |
| 9 |
in some way (other by exhausting RAM etc). |
| 10 |
They also have both stable release branches and a master branch with |
| 11 |
more updated packages. |

(Not trying to start a distro war, please excuse me if it sounds like this.) |

Best regards, |
