If you have a failure rate of 1/10000, and you have millions of users, you have tens of angry users EVERY DAY filing bugs that their root filesystem exploded or that their GUI application crashed while it was updated in the background, losing all their work. Offline updates has reduced this failure rate by about 3 orders of magnitude. > Unix is designed to prevent this problem That's nonsense, sorry. > as its actually a ruse by the Gnome developers to justify their broken design decision You're just being offensive now. > instead of just doing the simpler and easier code in the update app You're hilarious, and you you clearly don't actually understand how rpm deployment works, UXIX locking semantics, or modern Linux service or application design. Please self moderate your opinions in the future.
