it is that simple
>>105983342 (OP)I'd go further. Target 10 years on your hardware, with maybe a GPU upgrade along the way if absolutely necessary. No reason for anything more.
>>105983342 (OP)being two releases behind on every app sucks though
>>105983342 (OP)I do this. I've had my current PC for about 11 years so with the 13 release I'll buy a new thinkpad and be good for another 10 or so years.
I use artix and I update daily and it never breaks. If it ever did break I would just chroot into my install and rollback whatever package is giving me issues. I trust the maintainers and read the forums often
>>105983342 (OP)for me? it's oldstable-security
