It happened once in the last ten years (thanks Nvidia). But I just rolled back to my previous btrfs snapshot and kept on computing until it was fixed a day or two later.
But forced breaking updates the first Tuesday of every month sounds like a really bad user experience.
Things were different back in the 90s before loadable kernel modules. Online updates weren't much of a thing, either. You'd just install that new slackware release over your old root partition anyway.
I have the memory of a goldfish with poor memory. I can't recall any other big breaks in the last 20. I'm sure there's been some since, but trivial enough to fix and forget about.
Yeah no OS is immune to broken stuff. Sigh, I can't figure out how to fix my Linux phone after being dumb enough to try to install vs code for classes. Can't upgrade to the next version because of it.
You have been using Linux for the past 30 years but you are shocked that updates can break things? What?

So you do know about it? Also what about the first twenty?
