Me ~~unable to update my system,~~ trying not to cry while using Blender:
Updated, so at least one issue down.
you probably want to watermark this. this is the rarest Pepe I've ever seen.
Make it an NFT
What's preventing you from updating the system?
Dependencies for Steam
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)But in all honesty, I just can't be bothered to fix it.
My general tactic is to wait until things get fixed... has worked for many years, no longer it seems. Before this ~~I also got bit by an nVidia/systemd issue (won't always wake from suspend) that I did try to fix and updates didn't help either so instead I just shut my computer down now.~~ EDIT: This seems fixed now, too
It also does not help that I have 6mb/s internet (shared with other people) thus cannot really update frequently (and thus not auto-update). This isn't even my original install either, the re-install didn't help as long as I hoped.
I probably need to switch to something else, but packaging/updating always seems flawed. I tried Tumbleweed a while back, but was quickly annoyed by patterns and did not like the suggested work-around.
TL;DR: It me
Steam Flatpak works great
Alright, trying it. I don't use Flatpak for anything else because of updating, but Steam updates itself anyway so that shouldn't be a factor.
EDIT: I forgot dependencies are a bit rough (almost 2GiB total) because sandboxing, so that might've been a bigger factor before
Re-installing worked, so I am not sure what happened with the dependency solver (hopefully this doesn't happen again soon). Though I am almost to the point Steam wouldn't be such a big loss especially if I can still play a few DRM-free games already downloaded.
