I attempted to update to Silverblue F44 on the day it came out, and M365 login was b0rken in gnome-online-accounts, so I filed a bug report, rolled back to the F43 image, and kept on working. There was something similar when some SecureBoot keys were updated a few years ago where I just needed to wait a few weeks until the upgrade instructions were updated, before I could keep rolling forward.

Of course the workflow change for an immutable system is that you have to get real comfortable with using toolbox or distrobox containers for development, and having dev tools in their own flatpak containers mean that LSPs or whatnot need to work inside the container, not the host, but I'm more appreciating the overall appliance-like nature and not needing to fiddle with things constantly to make them work that put me off Linux desktops and onto MacOS 20y ago.

It sucks that gnome-shell and the kernel are choking when hot-unplugging the docking station, and I hope the issue is fixed quickly for you and everyone having this issue.

If I need a new thingy that bad Iā€™m fully capable of compiling the damn thing myself

Then I tried to make a joke comic to make up for it.

But I can't make that joke land either.

I'm suspecting it has to do with being too tired.

They'll probably iust require a few logs and diagnostics commands.

There are so many conditions to handle for multi-monitor stuff; people have been fixing them gradually.

Last time I tried Wayland, I was getting about one frame per ten seconds just on the desktop.

Things were way worse though about 2 years ago for me for driver reasons.

There's a bug in the way my notifications work in Plasma 6. It was fixed before Trixie was launched, but I'm gonna have to wait until the fourteenth Toy Story character update drops to see that fix.
Still better than Windows though.

Also I feel you on the FOSS devs, @JessTheUnstill. Too much "I know what's good for you" and not enough "go nuts, you do you" in a lot of stuff these days.

I really need to get around to installing debian

But at least don't change the behavior on an upgrade ...

Edit:
Like, surely new install vs update is something package maintainers could plan for and adjust accordingly.
