From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is a random hearsay. Please, show a link to the bug report.
Sure, why not?
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/5452
Before you get all semantic, despite being on "flatpak" github page, the problem only affected Fedora.
Should I also link to the time where rpm-ostree could not update or install anything? Which of those times should I link?
Ok. Bug was fixed. Bugs happen. I guess a regular user will get the fix eventually.
Also, that didn't break the system. Sure, a new app wouldn't be possible to install but the system worked overall and users were able to perform their tasks;)
Ohhh, the narrative is changing, previously you were denying any bad things. Progress, perhaps?
Keep in mind it was impossible to install the distribution when rpm-ostree broke and it would be useless when flatpak broke. Of course, you could check the forums and see workarounds but that's not very different from downloading an older ISO in any distribution.
Alas good luck being a normal user when you decide to install something because... well, it's your computer. And then it doesn't work. Repeat this for multiple days several times a year because Fedora devs have no concept of rolling back updates and you got yourself a problem.
