Which distro? I’ve upgraded Mint on the weekend. The installer failed with an error where i couldn’t get good infos about online.
Then i just rebooted the system out of frustration. Surprisingly it seems to work fine.
Is there a distro where upgrades just work? Maybe Fedora? Or i just install arch on the system, it works great on my server for the last 10 years without reinstall.
Fedora and Arch are pretty good. The magic sauce (my guess) is that they both pretty much release just upstream software without trying to “fix” them unless things are totally broken.
Ysk, the unicode number for ™ is 0x2122. You can type any unicode hexcode on linux by pressing Ctrl+shift+u followed by typing the code then pressing enter.
While I’m here, a couple other easy and handy unicodes to remember:
en dash: – 0x2013
em dash: — 0x2014
Most people use a normal dash instead of these, but en and em dashes are technically more correct in some cases

Fedora also broke an update on my watch, but it backed up automatically so I reverted.
Atomic distros should be good in that respect, including atomic Fedora distributions (Silverblue/Kinoite/…)
Atomic Fedora variants. Updates literally mean replacing the system image, so there’s nothing to really go wrong.
