      Yes, but if it’s a broken package it’s usually something wrong in the packaging done by the distribution or the user did something they shouldn’t be doing. I have never seen a package break without me doing something to break it.

        Standard updates on RHEL can sometimes break yum / dnf due to updating python.

          Again, that’s a packaging issue, as the maintainer did not rebuild yum/dnf for against the new python. Aside from rebuilding those packages manually, the user can’t fix that either.

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.
