This is why I badly want all updates and rollbacks to be as declarative and simple as Git commands.

"Be on this version. Now."




For workstation use I most definitely don't. Linux 5.13 has several regressions that make it unbootable on my system. Sure, i can btrfs/nix/ehatever rollback to 5.12 pretty easily.... and then what? Stuck in 5.12 for thr rest of my life? Hope that someone fixes it by chance?

What i mean is that I value decent changelogs, ability to diff changes between package versions, etc. much more. When a package regresses on my desktop, my next task is sadly to try to debug it.


?

Well if you wanna debug it, go back to 5.13. I just mean I want Nix or Guix style declarative systems.


Heaven!
