I’ve had problems with just regular package upgrades. Also to be fair, Windows does have service packs which can add significant new OS features without updating to a whole other version, so it’s not like Windows XP/Vista/7/10/11 stay the exact same from when you install them.
Plus the irony is that a lot of the features in this meme have to do with Wayland, and I can’t find many LTS releases that even use it? It’ll take years before these features are included in releases that aren’t bleeding edge and will still require a whole OS reinstall to actually get them.
I can’t comment on the regular package upgrades without more info, if it is like OS base packages or like end user apps. In any case there has being problems with major versions with changes and stuff but if it is not a rolling release distro that is very rare.
In any case I don’t agree thad service packs are the same as OS version upgrades, and if it was recently win10/11 had some very bad updates that broke people workflows and features.
I don’t know if there is any LTS distro with Wayland by default. I don’t use LTS distro nor Wayland (nothing against it, I just didn’t have a need for it so far so my lazy ass will not update). But Wayland rollout has being a disaster in any case. That is completely valid. The only thing I will say is that I don’t think that there was any distro that changed to Wayland as a normal update, was always during a version change and as such, of course, doing an upgrade with this major change probably broke a lot of people workflows. The Nvidia situation in the Wayland matter also didn’t help at all.
