    I know people who’ve driven drunk for more than a decade, and only crashed when they were sober. Does that mean drinking and driving is safe?

    I literally had one of my devices fail to boot after an update pretty much every month, and another a few times a year. Sure, I was able to fix it with only arch-chroot, but when I switched to btrfs I didn’t need to carry around a flash drive with me when updating the system…

    The last few years I’m on nixos, and while it sometimes fails to update, it has not once failed to boot.

        The danger and the stakes are not what is being compared, though. It’s a perfectly good analogy.
