Two days ago I spent the whole day rebuilding a linux server because an update ate the system. This is not a Microsoft specific issue.
My favorite is when the sssd package maintainers don’t properly update their dependencies, so when some of the packages get updated, they don’t pull in others, and then I’m not able to log in with my external account.
